• Richard Bunce Architecture options for running a long process from an ASP.NET website

  Hi, We currently have a solution where a user can upload a file, which gets processed in an ASP.NET v1.1 intranet website The solution was designed to handle 10-100 items, but customers have (ab)used the solution to process 1000-10000 items. Processing 100 items takes less then a minute, processing 1000 items takes around 7 minutes, larger uploads take (non-linear) longer. Now besides performance tuning the processing, I want to gather ...Show All

• eros2 Designing web apps in the enterprise

• rignack XP or XPE for POS application

  Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to post this - apologies if it's not. I'm developing a custom POS application in VB.Net 2.0 for no more than 4 terminals.

Because of the limited number of clients, it would be more expensive to buy t ...Show All

• scdlewis How can I achieve self-documentation AND generality

  Here's the issue I am stuck with, and browsing through a ton of pattern books hasn't provided a solution as best I can tell. I have a problem that requires one of two possible solutions, and I am looking for perhaps a third that I'm not aware of. I have a set of classes that inherit from a base class, and each of these classes does some activity and returns a boolean result.
