VSTS 2008, Web Tests and using Fiddler
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:04 PM
I have been doing some performance and load testing of a web application I have been working on lately. Most of my previous experience was with the 2005 flavour of VSTS and I was keen to play with the 2008 version to see what improvements have been made. This web application is quite heavy in terms of Javascript and AJAX feature usage. I am happy to report that... Read More...

Profiling your AJAX Applications using AjaxView
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 4:35 PM
Don't know if this has already been discussed at length before, but I found an interesting little tool from Microsoft Research for profiling the Javascript functionality in your AJAX applications. Its called AjaxView and can remotely monitor any AJAX web app that is currently on the web, locally or whatever. You basically, install a small proxy application, then... Read More...

Visual Studio 2008 Team Test Issues
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 12:15 PM
I have had ongoing problems getting various tests to work using my installation of VS2008 Team Suite. Initially, I had a problem running unit tests (see here), then sometime after that, I had other niggling issues with code coverage and had to copy assemblies from Private folders to public folders and vice versa. Recently, I tried recording some web tests so... Read More...

Obscure ASP.NET Problem - AJAX Control Toolkit, CollapsiblePanelExtender, Image controls pages loading more than once....
Sunday, September 09, 2007 10:05 PM
Had an issue on a current project where a page was being loaded twice for each request, although it was a little different for each browser. Under IE, this particular page was loaded, then the 'Default.aspx' page in the same directory was loaded. In Firefox, the same page was loaded twice. This was verified by simply placing breakpoints in the Page_Load events... Read More...

Architecture, WCF Services and Caching
Friday, August 10, 2007 11:17 AM
Blog Article On a recent project we had the requirement to produce a web application as part of the main deliverable, but also to provide a services layer or implementation, that will allow external clients within the same organization to interact with the underlying system. The underlying system is a combination of SQL data access and web services to other systems... Read More...

VSTS and VSTestHost.Exe - not on talking terms
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 12:02 PM
Thought I would install some optional updates to try and resolve some issues I was having with Vista and Visual Studio 2005. It seems I continually get the VSTestHost.exe has stopped unexpectedly error when trying to run any tests within Visual Studio. It seems there are not too many instances of this around as I can't find too much beyond simple fix suggestions... Read More...

WCF Client Channel Pool - Improved Client Performance
Monday, May 07, 2007 12:22 AM
Not long ago, I posted about WCF client performance and some work I have been doing around improving that with a "Channel Pool" type implementation. Well its finally ready for some public consumption. You can grab the code here . ( http://www.theglavs.com/DownloadItem.aspx?FileID=55 ) You can grab the download from here. Its very "apha" at this point and my testing... Read More...

WCF Client Performance
Saturday, April 21, 2007 6:22 PM
One of the easiest performance traps when using WCF services is constant creation of new client proxies when accessing those services. In WSE land, this was common place: MyProxy prox = new MyProxy(); prox.CallServiceMethod(); For example, you might have a class with some instance methods, and in each method, instantiate a proxy, call the service method, life...

WCF Proxy Performance vs WSE V3
Saturday, February 24, 2007 8:51 PM
Recently, I had been asked to examine a situation where WSE V3 service calls were substantially quicker than the equivalent WCF version. The reason in this instance was the fact that the WCF proxy was being created for each and every service call made (which was also the case with WSE V3). WCF proxies are far more heavyweight and incur significant penalty if... Read More...
