I installed STM.Net this past week (Software Transactional Memory) as a experimental trial from DevLabs. Although I’m not sure how this environment will help my current enterprise I work for, I’m still curious about learning something new. I haven’t had a chance to try out the code yet this week, but hopefully next week after I set up my new dev environment at work I can install it there too and give it a whirl. I’ll post something here once…

After much discussion with Microsoft’s IIS forum, Microsoft’s ASP.Net forum (not much help there), and peer development groups (AZGroups.com primarily), I downloaded and installed IISState.exe, which is a command line monitor (basically) that is placed on the IIS server and listens for app pool issues. It’s far more detailed than Event Log or App Pool logging, providing codes at every POST/GET. Additionally, I tried turning…
While working on a website that’s designed to run 24 hours a day with no user interaction (an automatically-updating display for users to walk past and see), I came across an interesting phenomenon. Now, the website is designed in ASP.Net 3.5 with AJAX. There’s an UpdatePanel and a Timer, and that’s it for the AJAX portion. The Timer control fires every 10 seconds and fires the UpdatePanel.
