In my Parallel Programming blog series this week, we’ve looked at: PLINQ Parallel class Tasks Parallel Tasks and Parallel Stacks windows in Visual Studio 2010 I want to conclude by frantically listing some other parallel support that I didn’t have time...

In Visual Studio 2010, there is new support for parallel programming as well.  In particular, I want to discuss two new debugging windows, Parallel Tasks and Parallel Stacks.  To access these windows, hit F5 in Visual Studio to run with debugging...

So far in this series, we have discussed PLINQ and the Parallel class .  These allow you to take existing code (LINQ queries, for/foreach loops, etc.) and run it in parallel.  In today’s post, let’s examine how you might leverage .NET 4.0 if...

More great support for parallel computing in .NET 4.0 can be found in the static Parallel class .  This static class provides support for parallelizing regions of your code.  It’s located in the namespace System.Threading.Tasks.  For example...

This week, I am writing a series of blog posts on the support for parallel programming in .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010.  Let’s start with PLINQ .  Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) is a query execution engine that accepts any LINQ-to-Objects or LINQ...

Many people have expressed confusion around the difference between var and dynamic in C#.  For both of them, the type is inferred rather than explicitly declared.  dynamic test = 1; var test2 = 2; If I hover my mouse over the “var...

There are many scenarios when it makes business sense to utilize a cloud approach.  I want to discuss two scenarios that I believe are particularly compelling for using cloud computing: new site launches and cyclic traffic.  New Site Launches...
