There is no doubt that tehre are some drawbacks to Linq to Sql. One of them is that the Sql statement is built dynamically so it is needed to be parsed and compiled each time you run it. Fortunately .Net 3.5 has a solution for this problem. System.Data.Linq namespace includes a class named CompiledQuery which is responsible for caching the compiled version of a Linq to Sql query. This class has a static method called Compile which takes a Func<T,S,R>...

Quick, are these members in a class, an abstract class, or an interface? int...

Recently I was working on diagnosing a performance issue with a customer’s web site with a colleague (this is one of our favourite engagement types so if you need some help let me know J), and we found that items were being trimmed very regularly from the ASP.NET Cache, causing excessive back-end work, and in turn reduced scalability. * a “cache trim” is when ASP.NET looks for unused (based on a LRU algorithm) cache entries and deletes them....
