Few days back i came across a solution in codeproject.com(link to Article), which was developed By Buu Nguyen It’s a .NET library which enables combination, minification, compression, and caching of JavaScript and CSS resources for ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC web applications, which will help us in improve performance of our ASP.NET web applications. Resources are always time taking to load. The resources in the sense i will discuss only about the Javascript libraries here. Optimizing the web application for extreme performance is event web application developers dream and job. If the web application responds faster handles load in multi user environment can be pretty interesting to see and we can happily say we made a successful website. So what does Combres 2.0 does. It’s an on open source / freely distributable library submitted with CodeProject.com, one of the worlds best code sharing / knowledge sharing community on Application Development, mostly Microsoft .NET technologies. Supported by lots of Experts aroung the globe, sharing their knowledge in a community. Before coming to Combres 2.0, i will tell about something why combres 2.0 is built for. As a ASP.NET developer you will be using lots of javascript libraries in your web applications, for User Interface(UI) effects, ajax functionality and providing much for user friendly interface we will consume lots of javascript libraries in our web applications. So when a related ASP.NET page loads, all these javascript libraries have to be individually fetched from the Web Server. So if you have 10 libraries to load from the web server and 1000 users are accessing the website simultaniously. How much fetch request would come to web server 10 x 1000. This is normal case, suppose if it’s a banking website or auction web site or a social networking site, how many users would be accessing the website at a time. We can’t predict right, on an average only we can tell, we could expect xxxxxxx number of hits to the server. What about if we can optimize our web application a bit by combining all 10 javascript libraries and sent it as a single resource file. So it would be 1x 1000 = 1000 fetches comparing to our previous determination based on individual files fetching 10 x 1000 = 10000, so we saved 9000 fetch requests. Cool na. So this what Combres 2.0 is for, to help make our web applications to perform faster by reducing the effective fetch requests to web server. In short, Combres helps combine, minify, compress, append appropriate headers and cache JavaScript and CSS resources in your application. All you need to do are creating an XML config file describing what you want Combres to do and adding a few lines of code to register and use Combres in your applications. This is just an introduction, you could read more about Combres 2.0, please visit the CodeProject Article link and thanks to CodeProject and Buu Nguyen, for such a nice interesting helpful article.

A new development milestone of Windows Communication Foundation RIA Services is now available for download from Microsoft. Earlier this month, the Redmond company offered the second Release Candidate of WCF RIA Services for Silverlight 4 and Visual Studio 2010. In addition to the new RC of WCF RIA Services, early adopters can also grab the April 2010 release of the WCF RIA Services Toolkit. Both can be grabbed from the Microsoft Download Center, according to Nicholas Allen, a program manager at Microsoft working on Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, Silverlight, and other projects for the .NET Framework. “RIA Services are an application design pattern that lives between ASPNET and Silverlight in a multi-tier architecture. Inside RIA Services you can host application logic for data access control, queries, and other data operations. Integration with Silverlight components and controls allows for data validation and access control to automatically be made available to the client,” Allen explained. Microsoft released its latest generation of development platform and tools to customers recently. Devs have been able to work with the RTM of Visual Studio 2010, .NET Framework 4 and Silverlight 4 since last week. WCF RIA Services RC2 along with the WCF RIA Services Toolkit April 2010 come at almost a month since the release of the previous RC development milestone for the Services, and the March 2010 version of the Toolkit. “The update from the release candidate at this year’s MIX event includes bug fixes, improvements to tracing and debugging, and some minor feature enhancements. This release candidate also has a corresponding April update to the RIA Services toolkit,” Allen added. |
