C# - Performance Penalty For Storing Values In The Web.config Compared To Const Fields?

Aug 25, 2010

currently in our application we have an ApplicationConfiguration class. It is basically just a static class with const values specifying certain application-global configuration options. Some of these values will rarely if ever change and are only put into the configuration for elegance/cleanness.

Some of these values though do need to be different between production and development. So I'm considering making this class just a wrapper over Web.config. These values are checked many times throughout our codebase. If I change these from a const to a read-only getter that reads from Web.config will this affect compiler optimizations or make our application in any way slower?

Would Enumerating Folder Contents And Checking Existence Of Several Files On Each Web Request Be A Serious Performance Penalty

Feb 14, 2011

As an extensibility option for my web application I would like to allow the user to add sections to it by simply making new folders and uploading files to them. So, for instance, if they created (in the webroot): /UserContent/StaticPages/First/Second/index.txt. Then in the main menu there would be a new menu point "First" with the submenu point "Second", which would lead to markdown-parsed version of index.txt. This way the user can upload any static menu points he wants (such as "About us", "Contact us", "Our Mission" etc.) Another extensibility point is that I would like them to add headers/footers to specific webpages in a similar fashion. I'm using ASP.NET MVC3, so there are pretty URLs, and it would be easy for the user to just create: /UserContent/Additions/Store/Categories/35/header.txt

And when someone opened [URL] the markdown-parsed header.txt would be prepended. This is simple for the user, and simple for me (I don't need to make sophisticated admin panels and WYSIWYG editors). However I'm worried about the performance. This scheme means that on each GET request I would need to scan the /UserContent/StaticPages folder and check for the existences of the header/footer files (several, because parent levels can have their header.txt/footer.txt as well).

I could cache the result, but then I have to manage the cache and the user will need to know that changes can take up to X minutes to display. Would this be a premature optimization? There won't be much data in those folders, so Windows will probably be able to easily cache their contents itself.

Performance - Directory Structure For Storing Images?

Nov 15, 2010

I'm working on an application which will store around 50.000 images within it's first year and another 75.000 in it's second. Images can come from Galleries, news images, article images and profile images. So I want to give each image a GUID and store the GUID in the database.As for the directory structure i was thinking of something like this:

~/Upload/Images/F2/50/F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301.jpg

So I'm using the first 4 characters of the GUID as my directory structure to spread images a bit more evenly between directories. Now I have some questions about this approach:Is it considered good practice to store all different kinds of images together rather then use ~/Images/Upload/Profiles, ~/Images/Upload/Articles etc.I'm also storing thumbnails and they have a different GUID obviously so the thumbs will not be in the same folder as the original and somehow that doesnt give me a good feeling but I guess it should not matter but.Same goes for Galleries, I'm used to store galleries in folders like ~/Images/Upload/Galleries/12 , and now all the images from a gallery will be scattered around in different subfolders, is this a big performance hit?Do you guys have any other ideas for directory structures?

As you can probably see I'm a bit afraid to use this approach but since there will be lots of images maybe even more then the numbers i gave i have to let the control go I think :)

C# - Automating Storing App Settings In Web.config (Refactoring)?

Jul 21, 2010

There are a bunch of hardcoded strings in a ASP.NET application.

eg. string constSetting = "XYZ";

There are a LOT of them. Is there a tool/plugin for Visual Studio 2008 to refactor it in such a way that the constant string goes into web.config and the above line gets replaced by the retrieved string from web.config app settings?

Storing A Variable Collection Of Strings In Web.Config?

Aug 25, 2010

I would like to store a collection of strings in the web.config. This collection would vary in size over time. I would like to be able to pull all of the strings in the collection into an array or collection in code. (.Net 4, asp.net)
i.e.

<customCodes>
<VendorCode vendorName="Name1" code="1234567891234567891324567987ddd" isActive="true"/>
<VendorCode vendorName="Name2" code="1sadfsadf1234567891324567987ddd" isActive="true" />
<VendorCode vendorName="Name3" code="123456789dfadfdsaf3324567987d32" isActive="true"/>
</customCodes>

I could use appsettings with the strings all in one value but I would like to seperate it out for organizational reasons. Not using the key/value pair complicates things a bit. I am now getting a message that states "you can't have duplicate elements in a section"

Storing Configuration Data In .NET Than The Web/machine Config?

Jun 24, 2010

We have a large multi tenanted website which requires thousands of lines of web.config to support it. As the system grows we are finding it more and more difficult to manage this configuration file.The system currently in place uses XSLT to generate the config but this solution seems to involve a lot of duplicated code (we have 12 deployment environments).

I am leaning towards putting the configuration data in the db so we can be sure that it's deployed with the application and that our release notes don't require the IT guys messing around with XML

What are better solutions we could use?

DataSource Controls :: Storing Required Field Names In Web.config?

Feb 2, 2010

I am writing an app that has a bit of process flow to it. On the save of a record, I need to check some fields to make sure they are not null. If they are not null, I will update a 'SectionComplete' field to true.

The thing is, I would like to store my fields in the web.config. So, I would like to have a string in the appsettings section that has a list of field names that are required. Then in my method, I would call these fields out and check each one for the specific record id, and then update the database.

I would like to do this in the web.config so we could add/remove columns without having to redeploy.

For example: my required fields are name, id, and phone. For section one to be labeled complete, all of these fields would need to be not null.

web.config would have this entry:

<add key="Stage1Fields" value="name, id, phone"/>

Web Forms :: Storing Values At Client Side?

Apr 14, 2010

I am having a page where I need to maintain around 70 to 80 hidden fields to store some values. These are required because I need these values for executing some code at the client side (validations, calculations, etc,.) in java script.

Wanted to know if there is a better way of storing these values in my page instead of using hidden controls because I guess using so many hidden controls is making my page very heavy.

Something like a hash table or list dictionay that I can access from both the server side code and clint side java script?

DataSource Controls :: Reading / Storing Values Of Checkboxlist In SQL (VB)

Sep 22, 2010

I'm trying to store multiple selected checkboxes from a single checkboxlist, but i don't know where to start. Imagine i have three tables: tbl_events, tbl_organisors and tbl_settings and i want to store the organisors of an event. Each event can have multiple organisors, so each organisor should be added as a single row into tbl_settings. I know how to bind tbl_organisors to a checkboxlist, but how do i store the results (meaning: add the rows to tbl_settings) ?

tbl_events: Event_ID (PK) and Event_Name
tbl_organisors: User_ID and user_name.
tbl_settings: Settings_ID (PK), Event_ID and User_ID

Checkboxlist:

[Code]....

SQLDatasource:

[Code]....

Initially all checkboxes will be unchecked, but users must be able to select multiple organisors from the checkboxlist and then store them into the DB by submitting a form. So the query will look something like: INSERT INTO tbl_settings (user_id, event_id) VALUES (@user_id, @event_id). And this is where my head cracks

1) How do i loop through all selected checkboxes and store each value (user_id) in a new row in tbl_settings?
2) After saving, the users reloads the page and the organisors he just selected must be selected by default in the checkboxlist. How?

SQL Server :: Storing And Retrieving CheckBox.Checked Values

Aug 10, 2010

I've got a table where i'm storing a CheckBox.Checked value.

I'm using C# and the value of the field in the table im writing to is a bit.

myDS.InsertParameters["p1"].DefaultValue = CheckBox1.Checked.ToString();

The value placed in my table ends up being either "True" or "False".

So when I try to query the table based on that value with a stored procedure it doesn't work since its looking for a 1 or a 0.

I think the .ToString() is part of the problem but i don't know the syntax to have the value from the CheckBox.Checked to be written as 1s or 0s instead of true or false.
