Hi community!
Perhaps someone can explain this performance problem:
I'm trying to spool files via remoting over a TCP channel with a binary
serializer.

I have duplicated this on 4 different workstations running WinXP and the
.Net framework.  Viewing any of the .NET CLR counters in PerfMon works fine
when viewing then "live," but fails to capture any data when setting them up
as scheduled captures under Counter Logs.  All of the ...

I have a test app where I am using System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.
In the VS.NET 2003 DESIGNER I choose:
CategoryName = 'Process'
CounterName = '% Processor Time'

The old saying goes something like, "Hey stupid, don't use static methods
when you're going to call that function a lot from multiple threads, if you
want to have any kind of good performance" at least I think that's how it
goes.

Does anyone here has already done some test related to the performance
of doing a safe cast?
Which one of those two snippet do you think would be a better
alternative (relative to performance) most of time?

I've got a problem: sometimes a inner loop takes more than 0 milliseconds..
Example-Code (take a windows form, add one button and two textboxes):
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

I need to process several million records stored a database and derive
several million processed records to be saved.
The processing is moderately complex where I need to compare the retrieved
records in order to derive the results.

I am working in an application, where multiple threads have parallel disk
access to process each one file.  The threads are independent, no critical
section or syncronization between them exist nor is necesary. They do not
process the same file.

I created a simple test scenario that compared the performance of a
DataReader vs. a strongly typed DataTable. It seems that it is indeed
quicker to traverse the result set when using the DataReader, but once you
try to read the actual columns of the data, you lose all the ...

I made the mistake of doing a "Restore to Factory" before thinking and I lost
years of pictures. PLEASE tell me I can get them back.
Thanks Barbi

I have 2 win32 services written using C# that need to communicate with each
other.   They are passing back and forth large blobs of binary data.   Can
anyone suggest the best performing way to transfer the data.  Right now I am
using sockets but I am not sure if its the best way. ...

I've just been looking at some code that someone's asked me to look at. They
guys who wrote it has used Hex numbers for all his constant int32 variables.
For example, instead of having:
for {int x = 1;x <= 31;x++}

Hey Folks,
I know this is taboo but we have a long running highly availble app that is
being affected by the garbage collector.
In .NET 1.1 there were issues because of the aggressive GC and under 2.0 it

I read on some message board that i can't find anymore saying that the Large
Object Heap is compacted in Framework 1.1 or 2.0.  Is this true? I can't seem
to find any ms documentation that said this was fixed.  Is large object heap
fragmentation still going to be a problem in ...
