Pay attention oracle users. If you are using other oracle provider then Oracle ODP  your oracle DB dosent releases connections that closed in your application. Those connections stay inactive on the oracle DB and eventually cause performance issues and if max connections on the server side reached maximum level every new connection failed. Just in the ODP version of oracle this problem has been solved. Using DecreasePoolSise parameter can also help by decreasing connections pool on the server.

As part of next year summaries one of my clients check server availability. And the winner is … not Unix or Linux machine but a modest NT4 machine that works for 963 days, and still working. I personally didn’t hear about NT machine that works for so long without reboot.

ASP.NET pages usually made up from two files the ASPX file which contain the page visualization declaration and *.cs file which contain code to handle page events (Code behind). While all the *.cs files compile into one DLL (with the application name) and the page life cycle is well documented (http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020102.htm) this is not the case of ASPX files.

1)      I notice that the default web page that opens doesn’t support code behind. Visually you can see just the code but actually all the code is inside <script runat=server>. If you wish to use code behind you have to select that page explicitly. Is that default page option is indication for preferring single page file ?

I check up today how much XAML development closes to ASP.NET development. I thought that the easy way to check it out is to create window application that will handle events with and without Attributes and adding dynamically controls, which will handle events, to that window. I use very simple XAML file:
