Kidoos.net is live from 01 July 2008.

This website is dedicated to Latest Technologies.

The motive of Kidoos is to create a network of enthusiastic IT professionals in and out of Technoaprk and enable Knowledge Sharing.

The present plans are:

Technology Discussion and Support Forums

Technology Blog

Technical Articles

Social Networking for IT people

Are you bothered about the share icon on some folder? This means you shared a folder with some other folder. To remove this, follow these steps:

Delete ‘permanently’ the other (X) folder

Refresh the folder to see whether the icon still exists

If exists, right click the parent folder of X folder

‘Deleted Items’ tab

‘Purge’

Refresh the folder to see whether the icon still exists

kidoos.net, an initiative from me - which will be a technology portal - will be launched soon for public

Parallel Extensions simplifies development by providing library-based support for introducing concurrency into applications written with any .NET language, including C# and Visual Basic. It includes the Task Parallel Library (TPL), which provides imperative data and task parallelism; Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), which provides declarative data parallelism; and all new Coordination Data Structures (CDS), which provide support for work coordination and managing shared state.

The library is made up of the following components:

The Task Parallel Library (TPL), which provides support for imperative data and task parallelism.

Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), which provides support for declarative data parallelism.

Coordination Data Structures (CDS), which provide support for work coordination and managing shared state.

Microsoft’s Parallel Computing developer center is dedicated to providing information, ideas, community, and technology to developers to make it easier to write programs that perform and scale well on parallel hardware.

MVC is a framework methodology that divides an application’s implementation into three component roles: models, views, and controllers.


* “Models” in a MVC based application are the components of the application that are responsible for maintaining state. Often this state is persisted inside a database (for example: we might have a Product class that is used to represent order data from the Products table inside SQL).

* “Views” in a MVC based application are the components responsible for displaying the application’s user interface. Typically this UI is created off of the model data (for example: we might create an Product “Edit” view that surfaces textboxes, dropdowns and checkboxes based on the current state of a Product object).

* “Controllers” in a MVC based application are the components responsible for handling end user interaction, manipulating the model, and ultimately choosing a view to render to display UI. In a MVC application the view is only about displaying information - it is the controller that handles and responds to user input and interaction.

Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks intended for use by developers who build complex, enterprise-level applications. Enterprise Library is used when building applications that are typically to be deployed widely and to interoperate with other applications and systems. In addition, they generally have strict security, reliability, and performance requirements. The goals of Enterprise Library are the following:

Consistency. All Enterprise Library application blocks feature consistent design patterns and implementation approaches.

Extensibility. All application blocks include defined extensibility points that allow developers to customize the behavior of the application blocks by adding their own code.

Ease of use. Enterprise Library offers numerous usability improvements, including a graphical configuration tool, a simpler installation procedure, and clearer and more complete documentation and samples.

Integration. Enterprise Library application blocks are designed to work well together or individually.
