I'm curious what the methodology is behind the way that gmail (in their web client) offers a "view" and "download" links right next to each other for things like an attached .jpg file. I have found that the browser generally decides how it's going to handle such things based on the file's extension or mime type, but in this case, you ha...

I work in an asp.net shop, and I heard today that the bottleneck on our servers is CPU. I had always thought that webapps tended to be I/O and network bound before CPU. Is this an ASP.net/IIS thing? Is it our code? Or am I just completely wrong about the whole thing? Also, we do public facing social/commerce sites using webforms. It is ...
I have developed sort of a Server Explorer as a module for our web application, and it actually works great.

I'm starting to write a small web application and have started thinking about securing login (only used for administration). If I could, I'd install a CACert or self-signed SSL certificate, since for now I'll be the only one logging in, but my host isn't too accommodating.

Email on the other hand has additional relate...
