Silverlight 3 and WCF Faults
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 3:57 PM

On  a previous project that utilised WCF and Silverlight 2, I began implementing an error handling strategy that was going to rely on certain FaultExceptions being propagated to the Silverlight client. Well it turned out that Silverlight 2 does not support FaultExceptions so that was not going to fly and a custom solution was built. Well Silverlight 3 does... Read More...

Getting better performance in web apps with a few lines of script

Regaining results from a performance test run
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:48 PM

I have been doing a lot of performance testing lately, and one of the worst things that can happen during a performance run, is when you don’t get any results. Performance testing is expensive, from a time and resources perspective, so getting results from a run is paramount. In my scenario, I have everything automated to kick off a performance run, at 7.00pm... Read More...
