Hello to everybody that is smarter than me! I have a curious question about efficiency. Say I have a field on a database that is just a numeric digit that represents something else. Like, a value of 1 means the term is 30 days. Would it be better (more efficient) to code a SELECT statement like this... SELECT CASE TermId ...
While I'd love to get rid of requiring FrontPage Extensions on a heavy traffic site I host, the client requires it to administrate the site. Having just implemented Wildcard Application Mapping in IIS 6 on this site in order to provide integrated Forms Authentication security between ASP and ASP.NET resources, this breaks FrontPage exten...

Are there counters that will give me this info in PerfMon or some o...

I recently migrated a website to a new CMS (Umbraco). A lot of the links have changed, but they can be easily corrected by searching for patters in the url, so I would like to write something that will redirect to the correct page if the old one is not found. That part isn't a problem. How can I obtain the requested URL after the brows...
I am about to add a section to an ASP.NET app (VB.NET codebehind) that will allow a user to get data returned to them as an Excel file, which I will generate based on database data.

What are the performance implicatio...

Edit: These 20 rows are "dynamic" and do change if the user enters in any infor...
