Presentation: "Best Practices for ASP.NET Performance"
Track:
.NET Best Practices
Time: Monday 11:00 - 12:00 Location: Dania
Abstract: To write applications that perform well, it is important to maintain a balance of various metrics such as execution time, response time, throughput. No single measurement can tell how your application will behave under different circumstances, but several measurements taken together can show how well your application is performing. To improve performance, you can do a number of things, most of which revolve around disabling unnecessary system and runtime features. A bunch of other tricks relate to make certain things happen faster. This session will provide a list of dos and don'ts to make applications perform at more than acceptable levels.
Tutorial: "Crash-course in ASP.NET Control Development (full day)"
Track:
Tutorials
Time: Sunday 09:00 - 12:00, 13:00 - 16:00 Location: Nortvegia
Abstract:
So you want to build effective custom controls for use with ASP.NET pages, right? It's easy once you know everything (repeat, everything) or more about the control's lifecycle and are familiar with the nuts and bolts of the rendering machinery. In this talk, you'll learn how to override methods and properties, fire events, build the control's tree effectively, and compose multiple controls together. The concepts will be developed along the lines of a real-world example-building a data-bound BulletedList control applying all the Microsoft's best practices for ASP.NET controls. Prerequisites: Bring your laptop with VS2003, IIS and SQL Server 2000 is fine. SQL Server is not strictly required but makes things easier. |
