Testing performance of ASP.Net Application

I have been looking at various ways of testing the performance of ASP.Net applications. Here are few tools that might be useful.

1. Application Test Center by Microsoft
If you have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 enterprise version, then you will have this software included. Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/06/ExtremeASPNET/ on how to use this great tool.

2. BadBoy
This is another good software. Please visit http://www.badboy.com.au/ to download the software. This software can be used for free if you are a non profit organisation.

3. LoadRunner
If you are a commerical organisation and have a good size budget, this is the software for you. Please visit http://www.mercury.com/us/products/performance-center/loadrunner/ for more information. This software gives you lot more control and has good reporting tools as well. You need special training to use this software or you can have a consultant doing the job for you.

Happy performance testing.

Thanks

Why there is semicolon at the start of a JavaScript function?

Very often while reviewing the code for my team, I will come across a semicolon at the start of JavaScript function as show below ; (function () { 'use strict'; ...and I often wondered what purpose it served. Guess what. It is an insurance to make sure your script works fine when all other scripts are merged together; The leading ; in front of immediately-invoked function expressions (iffe) is there to prevent errors when appending the file during concatenation to a file containing an expression not properly terminated with a ;. So there you go. Now you know what that little semicolon is doing there in your code.

unable to download wsdl file while adding web reference

If you get this error while adding web reference, simply delete the reference, close and reopen the project. Now add the web reference again but this time stick ?wsdl at the end of url. This reolves the problem.

C# Performance Improvement - The Power of StringBuilder

Often when we are wring code we don't think about performance and go with the default options available to achieve a task. String concatenation is one such scenario. If you are doing simple and few string catenations, then you can use the following result = string1 + string2; string1+= string2; result = String.Concat(string1,string2); String.Format and string interpolation are few other options. However when you are performing large and repetitive operation, string catenation can be expensive. Here is an example to prove the point. As you can see it took 41 seconds to perform 100k string catenation. Now lets replace this with StringBuilder and see. 8 ms!!!!!! That is a massive performance difference. Hope you get the point. More info on StringBuilder can be found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.stringbuilder?view=net-7.0
