Page Lifecycle - Capturing Server Execution Time Without Network Latency?
Nov 19, 2010
I need to capture the amount of time that ASP.net takes to execute each page request in my application, but I need to exclude any network latency. I am currently capturing render times by using the StopWatch class and starting the stopwatch during the OnInit method of the page lifecycle and stopping it after the Unload method completes. It seems that the Unload method includes the time it takes send the request to the client, thus including any internet/network latency. What is the last possible point I could stop the stopwatch in the Page Life Cycle that would not include the time it takes to send the request to the client. Would it be directly before the Unload event?
Related question: Does ASP.net finish building the response before it starts sending to the client? Or does it start sending asynchronously, while the response is being formed?
I am using ASP.Net 2.0 with IIS 5 currently.
I have this code in a class that all of my pages inherit from:
I tried capturing the execution time at the end of the OnRender method, at the start of the OnUnload method and at the end of the OnUnload method. In all three cases the difference in times was at most 1 millisecond. Even when testing this from a client in Europe to a server in the USA, the times were identical.
I am writing a program to measure the latency(response round trip time) for a web service. I need to have this at client side.
My initial plan is to store the time at which request is sent and then calculate the difference in time when we recieve a response from the web service. Is this the correct way to measure latency of web service. This has some overhead because of storing time and all. How can this be done?
Another option is to attach a timestamp with the SOAP request. But the server should return the timestamp. This will not be possible in case of third party web services.
Select a from tbl_abc where id in ( select id from tbl_xyz where mainid = 12)
When I am executing this query, it is taking 1-2 seconds to execute, but when I am using the same query in stored procedure, the below query is taking more than 5 minute:
If(Select a from tbl_abc where id in ( select id from tbl_xyz where mainid = 12)) BEGIN -- CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE [Say: #temp1] #temp1 => Select a from tbl_abc where id in ( select id from tbl_xyz where mainid = 12) inserting the same value in the temp table drop #temp1 END
what could be the reason of this? and how can I resolve this? I am running the SP from asp.net
I would like to check how long an ASP.NET page takes to execute (server stuff obviously, not interested in how long it takes to throw the results down the line and for the browser to render them at this stage).
Having done some searching, I came across http:[URL] which shows how to do just this. Trouble is, it doesn't work for me. I copied the code exactly, but the execution time is always zero.
I tried enabling tracing, and that showed an elapsed time between Page_Init and Page_PreRender, but the values returned by Environment.TickCount were exactly the same in both events, so the elapsed time was 9obviously) zero.
I need to find out the query execution time from the front end .Where should I insert the code for that.
I am using the bleow query:
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(ConnStr); con.Open(); OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("Stored_Proc",con); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.Add(); .................... ................ OracleDataAdapter oda = new OracleDataAdapter (cmd);
This might be a pretty strange question in the eyes of some of you out here, but I really wonder if comments in my code will slow down the execution time of the pages I make.I have some Classes / WebControls that required alot of comments to make everything clear and quickly readable to other people that will have to deal with my code and now wonder how ASP.Net deals with my comments. Will comments be stripped from my code at compile time or how is this all done?I should be more specific: I mean comments in my code-behind in C#.
I have seen some examples on other sites , but since im not familiar enough with DirectoryInfo and Files from the System.IO namespace, i dont know how to change it to fit my needs. So i found a very simple example that works, but i have some questions.
Here is the code i found:
[Code]....
This works great and lists the files in my root directory.
#1 - What i need to know is how to accomplish the same thing but in a format i can control, this code simply displays the files at the top of my page and pushes everything down. So does anyone know of a good and simple tutorial written in C#?
#2 - I also need to be able to setup the code so that certain files within the directories are not displayed, as in the code behind files and other files to be determined by the business.
I'm using a file manager-type WebControl that does lots of postbacks. It's placed inside a Page that is relatively complex. I would like to prevent the WebControl from causing the whole Page to go through the lifecycle.
Is there any way to isolate the WebControl from the rest of the Page? The only way I can think of is sticking the WebControl in a separate Page and creating an iframe in the original Page. Unfortunately that also means my WebControl properties/settings are no longer in the original Page. If I want two instances of the WebControl with different settings, then I have to create a Page for each setting and reference the correct one in my iframes. Not quite as "drag & drop" as I would like.
If a "server-enabled" HTML tag is in a Web form, like this -- <p runat="server"/>
-- is there any way for me to attach to its rendering? I assume once they have runat="server", they must have a lifecycle of some kind.I'd like to attach some code to the rendering of any HTML tag so enabled. So, whenever a template author puts runat="server" on a tag, I can catch the PreRender (or anything else) and execute some code.
I have a ListView in a web form (c#/.net 4.0). There is an ImageButton in the ItemTemplate.
After a postback, the ItemCommand event fires... and then everythings stops. No other page events occur. (Actually there is one other thing: Dispose() from ExtenderControlBase runs right after the event code finishes - this site has some AjaxControltoolkit controls, though there are none on this particular page).
There are a lot of things involved here so it's not really practical to post all the code, but generally, is there anything that could cause this?
I am rebinding the ListView on each postback, because I'm handling paging on the server side. When I assign the data source to the ListView, it's initially going to have no rows. So at the time the command event fires, the DataSource has no data in it, since it hasn't yet been loaded from the database and rebound. I can't think why this would cause the entire page to just stop loading, though.
The template is just this:
<ItemTemplate> <tr> <td class="DataListRow"><asp:ImageButton ID="edit" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/nav/datagrid_edit.gif" CommandName="edit" /> </td> // a few orther cells </tr> </ItemTemplate>
I have a default.aspx page with an iFrame that displays another "main.aspx" page.
The main.aspx page has some buttons and other controls .. and some events associated to page load and so on .. When i open main.aspx in a browser, evrthg works perfect .. but when i open up defaults.aspx , evrthg loads correctly, but if i click on any button inside "main.aspx" , nthg happens .. and none of the events is triggered ..
I'm working on an ASP.NET project in which the vast majority of the forms are generated dynamically at run time (form definitions are stored in a DB for customizability). Therefore, I have to dynamically create and add my controls to the Page every time OnLoad fires, regardless of IsPostBack. This has been working just fine and .NET takes care of managing ViewState for these controls.
//1. call service layer to retrieve form definition //2. create and add controls to page container }
I have a new requirement in which if a user clicks on a given button (this button is created at design time) the page should be re-rendered in a slightly different way. So in addition to the code that executes in OnLoad (i.e. RenderDynamicControls()), I have this code:
My question is, is this really the only way to accomplish what I'm after? It seems beyond hacky to effectively render the form twice simply to respond to a button click. I gather from my research that this is simply how the page-lifecycle works in ASP.NET: Namely, that OnLoad must fire on every Postback before child events are invoked. Still, it's worthwhile to check with the SO community before having to drink the kool-aid.
On a related note, once I get this feature completed, I'm planning on throwing an UpdatePanel on the page to perform the page updates via Ajax.
I'm working with dynamic fields in ASP.NET due to a very specifc and rigid end-user requirement that would take 2 hours just to explain. Suffice it to say, I can't make the requirement go away.
Anyway, I have a working solution in place; no problems with controls loading, rendering or maintaining their ViewState. This is what my OnLoad looks like:
I'm creating a page that users can upload a file to the webserver. After upload the page will then have a link to the file that has just been uploaded, along with any other files that have already been uploaded.As I am programatcially creating links to the files which have been uploaded, I have to do this in page_init or else the link button won't fire off it's event when clicked. MY web page does all this - it creates the link buttons and when I click on them, it calls the event method required i.e. a sub to download the file.
OK, the problem I've come accross is: when I click upload (to upload the file) - the page_init sub is called, displaying all the previously uploaded files as link buttons. Then my btnUpload_click sub is called, which uploads my current file. The only prob is the current file hasn't been displayed? I can only display links in the page_init, but because btnUpload is called after the page_init, the current file isn't uploaded until after page_init and therefore not dislayed?
I would like to create an attribute I can decorate specific fields or properties with. This attribute will throw an exception if the field or property it decorates is null at a given point in an ASP.Net page lifecycle. I.E. if a property, "x", is null at the prerender stage of an ASP.Net page, it will cause a "ArgumentNullException" exception to be throw with a nice message. Or a mean message. Either way, a message of my choosing.
Is this possible with standard .Net attributes, or would some kind of Spring.Net magic be required?
I have the questions written with the radio buttons for simple yes, no or N/A answers The website requires a minimum of one upload with options to upload four more. Good news - when you look at it in browser, everything works but now I'm clueless The "Submit" button is there but don't know what to do now where to submit to, server or Email or? I am assuming I will need a server through the host and think there is a test server to use.
I have a user control embedded in a web part. It has the following snippets of code:
[code]....
Why are some controls initialised and others not? How do I get around this if I'd like to update the Text property on currentPageLabel?
Update:
I've placed breakpoints all the way through the page life cycle and found that nextButton and currentPageLabel are never initialised. The breakpoints were placed at OnLoad, CreateChildControls, goButton_Click, OnPreRender, Render and OnUnload.
I would like to wrap Session variables in a manner similar to that discussed on CodeProject.
[code]....
Here is my question: if I have to access CurrentUser multiple times in the same page, would I get a performance improvement by assigning it to a local variable instead of accessing the wrapping property? Or does the HttpSessionState make sure the object is only deserialized once per request, so that subsequent calls in the same http request don't cost any more?
It seems that ASP.NET MVC just runs on top of ASP.NET WebForms. System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage in ASP.NET MVC inherits from System.Web.UI.Page which includes page lifecycle methods like OnRender and friends.
I have seen a couple of comments around the web to the effect that you should resist the urge to override these methods AT ALL COSTS!. Of course, this means that I find myself resisting the urge to do just that.Is there really that much wrong with something like the following?
public class SslPage : ViewPage { protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e) { // Make sure we are using SSL [code].....
One could debate the purity of putting that in a "View" but it seems plenty expedient.How dangerous/blasphemous is it to override these methods? When might it make sense?
I am trying to work out how to calculate the latency of requests through a web-app (Javascript) to a .net webservice.
Currently I am essentially trying to sync both client and server time, which when hitting the webservice I can look at the offset (which would accurately show the 'up' latency.
The problem is - when you sync the time's, you have to factor in latency for that also. So currently I am timeing the sync request (round trip) and dividing by 2, in an attempt to get the 'up' latency...and then modify the sync accordingly.
This works on the assumption that latency is symmetrical, which it isn't. Does anyone know a procedure that would be able to determine specifically the up/down latency of a JS http request to a .net service? If it needs to involve multiple handshakes thats fine, what ever is as accurate as possible.
I have a page on which everything is loaded dynamically.
There is a Gridview (AutoGenerateColumns=true) and in the RowDataBound I check every column for a boolean datatype. If found I add a checkbox (autopostback=true) to the cell and register the CheckedChanged event. The problem is, that I only get the CheckedChanged event, if I reload the grid in Page_Load:
