In the previous article I discussed a few of the benefits of stack allocation as well as a couple of C# keywords which help you to leverage those benefits. However, the one megabyte default stack size is too small for stack allocation to be used with a large dataset. Alternatively, in some threading situations one megabyte per thread/fiber can ...

I was working in IIS, today, and came across an issue where it was attempting to load my site in ASP.NET 1.1.xxx. I, for one, know that the site I was deploying was built as a precompiled web from VS2005, which, as far as I know, means that it's .NET 2.0 for sure.

Lou and I recently returned from the AjaxWorld Conference & Expo in NYC.  Most of the sessions I attended were very informative, some were advertorials, some were advertisements, and a few were actually laughable.  This AjaxWorld conference was not run as well as the last one I attended.  The biggest problems I saw with this ...

One of the most sought after features for developers using our products is that of printing multi-page document images through the web using a thin client/AJAX approach.  There are a set of fundamental problems with doing this: Printing can only be done using the browser's print dialog, as there is no direct way to interface with the ...

It's been a while since I last spoke about anything on this blog... the main reason for this is we've been hard at work getting the DotImage 4.0 release out.  Now that it's out, I'd like to show you the two coolest additions to the our AJAX WebControls.
