• A view from the cloud (or: locate your ASP.NET MVC views on Windows Azure Blob Storage)

  9 Jun, 2009

  Hosting and deploying ASP.NET MVC applications on Windows Azure works like a charm. However, if you have been reading my blog for a while, you might have seen that I don’t like the fact that my ASP.NET MVC views are stored in the deployed package as well… Why? If I want to change some text or I made a typo, I would have to re-deploy my entire application for this. Takes a while, application is down during deployment, … And all of that for a typo…

• Back to the future! Exploring ASP.NET MVC Futures

  For those of you who did not know yet: next to the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 version and its source code, there’s also an interesting assembly available if you can not wait for next versions of the ASP.NET MVC framework: the MVC Futures assembly.

The solution I presented actually works, but can still lead to performance bottlenecks.

  After my previous blog post on ASP.NET Session State, someone asked me if I knew anything about ASP.NET Session State Partitioning. Since this is a little known feature of ASP.NET, here's a little background and a short how-to.

• ASP.NET load balancing and ASP.NET state server (aspnet_state)

  22 Nov, 2007

  At one of our clients, we used to have only one server for ASP.NET applications (including web services). Since this machine is actually business-critical and load is constantly growing, the need for a second machine is higher than ever. This morning I was asked to set up a simple demo of a load-balanced ASP.NET environment. I already did this in PHP a couple of times, but in ASP.NET, this question was totally new to me. Things should not be very different, I thought. And this thought proved right!
