ASP.NET Hosting, Part 2 : Loosely Coupled

# I know where you might find an answer....

Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:01 PM by Alex Lowe

Tim,

I don't know the answer off hand but I think I know where you can find folks who have dealt with this issue - the ASPAlliance Lists. Specifically, the ASP.NET Administration and Configuration list at (http://aspalliance.com/lists/SignUp/list.aspx?l=10&c=17). There are many folks on that list that can help and hopefully your question will catch the eye of someone at Orcsweb.com (the greatest web host I've ever dealt with).

Regards,
Alex

# Thanks

Thursday, January 30, 2003 2:39 PM by Tim Marman

I'll be sure to check out the list, thanks for the heads up.

I'd love to use OrcsWeb, but unfortunately they're a little out of my price range for what I'm looking for :)

Series 2 of Tivo has USB ports, which you can plug in a USB network device (wireless or standard). Now, you might need to dial in ONCE to get the software needed to do the USB connectivity, but after that it should be smooth sailing over your network.

I was certain some Tivo engineer had a site up on how to do this...

Reminds me of CreateObject, which is ok for me as this is a small app, not that many users. The main problem we have is the cominterop dll keeps getting cached in the temporary asp.net files (client is a .net web service). The above, I assume does not use the RCW and a cominterop dll, which is sounding real nice right about now.

Wednesday, February 26, 2003 11:42 PM by Jorge

A counter-point, Tim:

IMO, there exist domains of computing problems for which OOP and such are absolute overkill. There is also, from what I understand, not a small amount of debate about whether OOP is really that great; there are a host of cons that come with the pros.

What's important is that a developer have the skills and experience appropriate for his area. If I'm the manager, I'd rather not have my IT VB guys trying to learn the innards of COM or the paradigm du jour. I'd want them focussed on what's important for their domain.

I've seen atrocious web code written by guys who know COM really well. And it took them forever to write it. A decent web dev with a strong foundation in HTML and JScript blew their doors off on this problem set.

There's room for everyone at the table, thankfully, and while we may gain comfort from a perception of relative dev-worthiness over the guy in the next seat, there's always someone at the other end of the table who could make us look like dilettantes using our very criteria. :-)

Folks, can we move off this one for good? I started with VB. Why? Because I was working my butt off in night school to get something on my resume related to IT. Why? Because i was in a career I did not like and was passionate about programming. A wonderful company saw this drive and desire in me and offered me an IT position as a VB Developer, but first as a Cobol programmer. Does this make me a lesser? Heck no. I love to program, I love to code. I am digging and digging to learn all I can about OOP. Do I need to learn C, C++ or C#? No. Why not? Because VB.NET is putting a nice wad of money in my wallet every day and I get to do what I love, code. Now, can we move all this topic once and for all?

# re: Just to clarify...

Thursday, February 27, 2003 9:31 AM by Greg

Point taken, point made, no debate necessary. I look at it this way, there are folks who code for a living, 9-5, bring home a paycheck, and that is ok.

Then there are folks like us who code for a living, but live to code. I may be 'visible' in the office 7-4, but I am always, always thinking about code, in particular .net now.

In any idustry or field, you are going to see this. I had the good fortune of being an Account Exec for one of the top 3 Pharmacy companies for 9 years post college, then I got into programming. For 9 years I worked 9-5, now I live! This also taught me how the business world works. It is not about which language, as much as we would like it to be, it is about costs and results.

# re: Essential .NET?

Tuesday, March 04, 2003 8:26 AM by Phil Scott

I found the book to be quite good. Not a very easy book to read, but it isn't exactly an easy topic to put your head around. I found nothing wrong with Don's writing style. He seems clear enough to me. If he wrote the thing in spanish, I'd plug the book into babelfish and hope for the best translation I can get.

It does get into some topics that most are best left knowing that "they just work for you," but I still found it an interesting read. A definite buy for people wanting to be true .NET geeks, but they everyday developer can pass on the book.

I think the author of this article should probably revist Don's book when he's feeling a little more curious about what is happening when you create a jagged array vs a normal array.

# re: Essential .NET?

Tuesday, March 04, 2003 8:32 AM by Jesse Ezell

Interesting read if you want to know all the internals, not really a practical book if you are wanting some skills that will immediately benefit. I would recommend the Folwer book (Patterns in Enterprise Application Arch.) first. In any case, I really enjoyed the book, but like I said, it is mostly interesting little tidbits that may or may not be useful to you down the road.

It goes deep into the internal, much like Essential COM. Is it a must read? I think so. It is not going to help you design or write code, but it will help you understand what the CLR is doing for you and the low level details. That said, I am only about 1/2 way thorugh it! Like you, i have 25 others I am trying to get through AND build an application.

I know you can't touch fields accross app domain/remoting boundries. It seems you can call private methods (see test code below).

There is no managed way of enumerating app domains. Security is out of the window if you pass a remote handle to an app domain out. If you're running with full trust you can use COM Interop to enumerate app domains like this...
http://dotnetweblogs.com/NUnitAddin/archive/02072003.aspx

On a related note, it's also possible to create an object without calling its constructor! For example...

using System.Runtime.Serialization;
MyClass c = (MyClass)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(MyClass));

Here are some unit tests showing what is and isn't possible with private fields, methods...

using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using NUnit.Framework;

namespace Tests
{
[TestFixture]
public class TestPrivateStuff
{
[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
_domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("TestDomain");
_local = new TestClass();
_remote = (TestClass)_domain.CreateInstanceFromAndUnwrap(typeof(TestClass).Assembly.CodeBase, typeof(TestClass).FullName);
}
private AppDomain _domain;
private TestClass _local;
private TestClass _remote;

[TearDown]
public void TearDown()
{
AppDomain.Unload(_domain);
}

public void TestUninitializedObject()
{
TestClass tc = (TestClass)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(TestClass));

Using a decoupled solution, posting messages to a queue and having separate process to process the messages (most likely a windows service) seems like a viable solution. Ofcourse, you'd have to post the "activity" as soon as possible (so no waiting until Application_End). Queued components seems like a possible route here.

Monday, March 10, 2003 4:01 PM by Drew Marsh

Well, EscapeString is internal because it really only works for UR*L*s, where as UR*I* is a more abstract concept. I guess they felt it was a good place to put it, but not a good place to expose it logically. So instead it's marked internal so it could be reused throughout the framework, exposed as you note by things like HttpUtility::UrlEncode. You can read more about URI vs. URL differences starting here: http://www.w3.org/Addressing/.

I might actually adapt this as my base winform app, but I still need some time to look over it. Dare actually posted (and I can confirm) this build is really buggy.

I read. :) Sounds like what you need is a client/server Remoting based aggregator set. Where you have a server running at home that downloads all the feeds, and then you have multiple clients that just grab the stuff.

When you say: "WebService", I'm assuming you really mean Remoting. You really don't need cross platform interop here (which is what SOAP/XML Webservices would give you). I'd thought about just keeping it in the family(.NET).

Remoting is fine, but why limit the aggregator only .NET consumers? I don't know too much about remoting though - what channels is it typically done over? And if I can do it over HTTP, how does that differ from a WebService?

The rich text control can only be bound to an element whose type looks like this:

<complexType mixed="true">
<sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" >
<any namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
processContents="lax" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

I agree with the decision to not allow RichTextBox to bind against elements of type xs:string.

I do wish that the tool was a bit more liberal in what schema constructs it allows however.

Requiring a complexType with mixed="true" is good.

Requiring unbounded repeating element wildcards in the XHTML namespace is OK too.

However, a little more flexibility would be great. For example, I'd like to be able to distinguish between block (<div>/<p>/<table>) and inline (<em>/<img>/<a>).

The InfoPath folks are aware of this.

When they can deliver is (as always) based on resources and schedule. Remember, we're just a small software firm trying to make our way in the world :-)

# re: Network access by .NET applications

Sunday, April 06, 2003 3:05 PM by Chad Osgood

It could be for a number of reasons, but if you're familiar with TCP handshaking you could use a sniffer like Ethereal to isolate the cause. An example might be if you're using NAT and attempting to a remote resource that reciprocates the connection (e.g. FTP), your NAT box might be rejecting the connection request by sending back an RST packet. Ethereal will help you determine this. If you provide more info about what service you're trying to access, the error might make more sense...

# re: Network access by .NET applications

It's actually just a web request... they're using port 80, no return connection.

I'm just trying to get the aggregators working :)

Tim!! Check my blog! <g> http://dotnetweblogs.com/JLerman/archive/03252003.aspx
It's probably machine.config saying to use the i.e. defaults and you have i.e. set to use proxies. YOu can fix this two ways - change the machine.config or do it in the app.config. I spent about 30 hours solving that sucker!!

# re: Network access by .NET applications

Sunday, April 06, 2003 3:26 PM by Chad Osgood

Julie > *. Another thought just in case you run into something like this in the future, just telnet to the URL in question on port 80 and issue an HTTP HEAD request:

HEAD / HTTP/1.1

That's assuming you're able to connect at all. It's sometimes easier to eliminate an underlying protocol issue before chasing configuration issues at the application level.

# re: Network access by .NET applications

Sunday, April 06, 2003 3:41 PM by Tim Marman

Yeah... I just made the changes to machine.config, but it still doesn't seem to be doing anything. WinInet and IE both don't have a proxy server configured either.

I have 1.1 installed as well as 1.0 SP2. The other applications are using 1.0.

I'm seeing the same behavior with just trying to make a generic HTTP call on both 1.0 and 1.1. I've changed the config on both.

Interesting behavior.

I'm stupid, it was my fault. Turns out it was related to my firewall.

I thought I had shut it down, but apparently all I did was close the front end - the filtering service was still running.

IE and Outlook etc were already granted permission, so they worked fine. Because the front-end wasn't running though, I guess it didn't prompt me for the new / changed applications, it just blocked it.

Duh.

I think we should keep a list of things to check when you get that message.

After you drop the first item into a category, every new item has to be dropped "under" the folder level (ie, on top of another item in the category...weird but works :D)
