abhi2434 926 days, 18 hours, 50 minutes ago

Many of you might have heard, calling reflection APIs from your code is always slower than that of calling it directly. Well, it is right.

In this post, I will try to cover some of the major portion of Reflection which is slower like hell than that of normal method call and also try to solve the same. So what is Reflection... (more)

With site developers verifying that their sites run well in IE9 and taking advantage of the new HTML5 capabilities and better performance in IE9’s Standards mode, now is a good time to recap how to use Browser Mode and Document Mode to test sites for IE9 and previous IE versions. In summary, developers can use IE’s Developer Tool’s Browser Mode menu to test how their site will run in different versions of IE. The Document Mode menu is what developers use to determine the best rendering mode for their si... (more)

Visual Studio Async

http://agafonovslava.blogspot.com/ 927 days, 1 hour, 10 minutes ago

Asynchronous operations are methods and other function members that may have most of their execution take place after they return. In .NET the recommended pattern for asynchronous operations is for them to return a task which represents the ongoing operation and allows waiting for its eventual outcome. An asynchronous function is a method or anonymous function which is marked with the async modifier. A function without the async modifier is called synchronous. (more)
