I'm quickly falling in love with ASP.NET MVC beta, and one of the things I've decided I won't sacrifice in deploying to my IIS 6 hosting environment is the extensionless URL. Therefore, I'm weighing the consideration of adding a wildcard mapping, but everything I read suggests a potential performance hit when using this method. However, ...

Part of my application maps resources stored in a number of locations onto web URLs like this: http://servername/files/path/to/my/resource/ The resources location is modelled after file paths and as a result there can be an unlimited level of nesting. Is it possible to construct an MVC route that matches this so that I get the path in...

In a ASP.NET application that I am writing I need to use connections to a specific server (something like a DB but... different). The connections are quite expensive to establish (a few seconds, literally) so I'm trying to write a pool to improve scalability. Everything is pretty simple, up to one point - recycling old connections. Wit...

Distributing ASP.NET user controls across different projects can be really useful when you want to create a library of controls that can be used by different projects. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, ASP.NET (2.0 at least) doesn't support this very cleanly. The only technique I know of is to add the control to another project, then cop...
Hi all, Ok i'm in a bit of a pickle. I've built an asp.net site with a pretty big frontend and an even bigger backend. It's a big site with a lot of custom business logic for searching, displaying result sets, detailed records and then other relation DB update operations. The focus of the app has been very bespoke in nature. There are...

In ASP.NET 2.0 it is my understanding that although the API existed for loading a user control by type, it didn't actually work. Or at least I never managed to get it to work, and I know from blogs that others have had similar issues. So I use a wrapper type that provides the functionality I need, invoking the relevant control constru...
I have an ASP.NET application that's connecting to an oracle database. Performance on some queries in dev is very slow - on the order of 90 seconds to connect to the database, run a a query (actually, call a SP in a package) and return a single row of results. I've run a profiler on the app, and just about 100% of the time is spent in ...
