70-562 Advanced Caching

Advanced Caching can create complex caching policies.


SqlCacheDependency, DataSource control support(gets data only when expired), Post Cache Substition.And mutliple caching configuration via web.config, like caching profiles, with different cache per folder.

If using the Asp.net development server in visual studio, caching can give weird results, in this case, start with a fresh session of the server by rightlicking it in the taskbar and hit stop to reset it.
The output cache being available programmaticaly, it's possible to change it at runtime. And the caching HttpCachePolicy is also accesible for controling cache at run time.
Response.Cache.SetCAchebility(...).

Objects and code are added with Insert and Add method of the cache object, it just neesd to be casted, just like using an application variable. The main requirement is to check that it exists first incase the cahe expired.
Add wont replace if it exists, and has a return value, while insert will always replace and wont give a reference.

It can use a priority, sliding timeout interval, or absolute expiration DateTime value, and priority decay.

A callback method can be specify once an object is removed from the cache.

A cacheCependency can be created on a folder and it will use the the cached one unless the folder changes.

As seen above, caching expiration doesn't have to always be based on a time value, it can also be based on other things going on in the environment.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

Rxjs Forkjoin vs Zip

These Rxjs combination operators are handy to make Rest calls in parallel and combine their results. Both take n observables and will return the results, with the difference that forkJoin will complete even if one of the nested observables errors of completes.

70-562 Custom Visualizers

Framework objects are clearly viewable in the locals window during debugging. User made class librairies and their object need to provide visualizers for maintenance and debugging. You can create your own visualizers, MS exposes the functionnality through the .Net Framework; and this is relatively easy. Mulitple visualizers can be created per type. You can have tree views, grids; customizing it to the way that is the most usefull for debugging this particular object. The [Serializable()] attribute has to be included to your class to allow the visual studio visualizer to parse the object. A visualizer is a dll, a regular assembly, it requires a windows form to display the data. The visualizer class will be implemented by the form. The visualizer class has to inherit the DialogDebuggerVisualizer class with the DebuggerVisualizer attribute, and also the Microsoft.VisaulStudio.DebuggerVisualizers namespace. The visualizer can be made to only read, or modify existing data. T...
