Some new
content on P&P site.
This happens to be very relevant to some of the internal development underway
in my team:
We have an
ASP.NET application that makes a remoting call to an object hosted in OS
service. It may take a long time to complete the call and we want to get the
page back to the user quickly. Asynchronous
Invocation Application Block
We want
to allow administrators to edit .config files that are used by a running OS
service without having to restart the service. We also want to use .config
files to store encrypted connection strings. Configuration
Management Application Block
Once we
allow administrators to configure .config files on a live OS service, we want
to make sure that parsing errors are reported to event log. Exception
Management Application Block
I though it’d
be a good test to see how practical it is to use those application blocks as oppose
to simply code those features.
