re: Prevent Denial of Service (DOS) attacks in your web application

No need to. You set the threshold values based on the capacity of each server. Not based on the capacity of your entire web farm, which is not practical to calculate as capacity of a web farm is dynamic.

This solution doesn't really work in a web farm scenario.

It relies on the ASP.NET Cache object, which is stored in each web server's local memory.

Each web server in the farm has its own instance of the Cache object. So, webserver2 doesn't know how many times a particular IP address has hit webserver1.

Hi,

you mention WidgetService.MoveWidgetInstance( instanceId, columnNo, row );

do we need to create work flow for this?

Very good idea Andy! I have updated the post with your solution.

Why not:

public static void With<T>(this T item, Action<T> work) {

work(item);

}

Then:

this.StatusProgressBar.With(pb => {

pb.Visiblity = false;

});

... seems a bit cleaner

To limit the scope of a variable, simply place it between two curly brackets..

public void method(){

// some code

{

var p = this.StatusProgressBar;

p.IsIndeterminate = false;

p.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

p.Minimum = 0;

p.Maximum = 100;

p.Value = percentage;

}

// some more code where p is out of scope!

}

Cheers,

Wes

I too sorely miss the with keyword from pascal. However, you can actually limit scope variables anywhere you want. For example:

{

var p = this.StatusProgressBar;

p.IsIndeterminate = false;

p.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

p.Minimum = 0;

p.Maximum = 100;

p.Value = percentage;

}

Keeps p only active within the curly braces
