Performance Monitor(perfmon.exe) must for window developers

Recently I attended Microsoft Community Tech Days at New Delhi. The last session of the event was taken by Bijoy who is presently working with Microsoft. The session was about .NET tips and tricks. The session was extremely informative and really forced all the developers that were present in that auditorium to actually think about the process we take for measuring the resources and also the process we use for debugging an application. He laid stress on many tools one of which was performance monitor (Perfmon).
Perfmon is supplied by the Microsoft with the operating system and there is no need for us to install anything to use it. It can actually capture live data about the performance of our system. A newly installed software or monitor the changes that take place in the registry during a particular time period.
A lot of detailed information is present at TechNet. But there were no videos for the starters so here is one giving Detailed description about how to get started.

Dynaminism in .Net 4.0

few dayz ago came across THIS question. the solution to this can easily be figured out by the new dynamic features introduced in .Net 4.0. i have made a project to demonstrate this. the main code in the project goes like this public   static   dynamic [] GetDynamicObject( DataTable  dt,  Dictionary < string ,  string > mapping)         {              List < dynamic > returnList =  new   List < dynamic >();              foreach  ( DataRow  row  in  dt.Rows)             {                  dynamic  obj =  new   ExpandoObject ();                  var  objectDic = ( IDictionary < string ,  object >)obj;                  foreach  ( DataColumn  column  in  dt.Columns)                 {                     objectDic.Add(mapping!= null ?mapping.ContainsKey(column.ColumnName) ? mapping[column.ColumnName] : column.ColumnName:column.ColumnName,row[column]);                 }                 returnList.Add(obj);             }              return  returnLis

ParameterLess construct

When I was creating my first cloud app that’s used Microsoft Azure for storage and computation purposes I came across a strange problem which wasn’t related to the Azure itself but was more related to the c# and the .net framework. When I was writing the code I made a Class which had no parameter less construct. Objects of this class were then used in the program. Because this class was derived from Ienumerator I could actually user Foreach() on the objects of this class but to my surprise the code shown below was showing error at the highlighted line. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure; namespace WebRole1 { public class mspDataServiceContext : TableServiceContext { public mspDataServiceContext(string baseAddress, StorageCredentials credentials) : base(baseAddress, credentials) { } static int c; public IQueryable<msp> msps { get { retur

Data manipulation in azure development storage by using web services – workaround

While developing the Azure project this was the biggest problem I came across and being just a newcomer in this area I could not solve it. So I figured a way around that worked perfectly well and then I used it to finally make a working project. Nearly all the solutions I came across in the different portals were about the same problem without the development storage anywhere in question but for the people who first need to make a working solution in the development storage using anything like the VS2010 there was no help nowhere. The problem was that while accessing data which was stored in a blob in cloud storage through a web service by a Silverlight client. It gives an impression to the storage of the cloud that this is being done by cross site scripting (this is what I got from all the different sources I read) and because this was not allowed the cloud project (webrole in my case) was blocking the request and was returning nothing in return. So this solution that I figured out i
