Introduction
For many years, parallel computing is an important area for research in high performance computing. Super computers dominated the industry all the time. However with the cost of obtaining a fast computer and a fast network, cluster computing considered as a good alternative. High Performance Computing market grew rapidly, mainly because of the clusters intensified. […]

Although I am extremely busy this month, I can’t stop reading those wonderful articles about parallelism on October’s MSDN Magazine. Here are the articles, a very first gentle introduction to PLINQ (Parallel LINQ) by Joe Duffy,Ed Essey, Parallel Performance using System.Concurrency namespace and a ThreadPool article. Apparently in the near future we will have some […]

Creating a class from a string might be crucial for some very dynamic projects. It’s a single line of code that I wanted to share but I think it has a lot of power.

Simply get the executing assembly and call the GetType method. If your assembly is one of the linked assembly or even a […]

Lastly I posted about the coolest exception while working with System.Reflection.Dynamicmethod class. I found the solution for my bug, and now it works like a charm. There are two classes for accessing properties or fields, one with the generic implementations and one with object implementation. Using the reflection with dynamicmethod reflection we can get 80% more […]

Labels are generated as images instead of text, to have more privacy without any configurations and without HttpHandlers
ImageLabel is an ASP.NET web control […]

I was just willing to write .Net 1.1 applications from Visual Studio 2005. Maybe you may already know but I found that great utility MsBee. You need also .Net Framework 1.1 SDK to make it install and work if you don’t have and surprisingly 1.1 SDK has a size of more than 100Mb.
Anyway, it is good […]

 Installation of Microsoft Sharepoint Services or Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server requires a Windows Server computer. However it is possible to develop in Windows XP’s. For deployment you definitely need windows server. Since Sharepoint 2003 is based on asp.net 1.1 you can’t use Visual Studio 2005 for developing, you need to have Visual Studio .Net 2003.
One […]
