Agenda• Increasing server performance
– Caching• Output caching• Donut caching • Object caching• Velocity
– Paging• Reducing network loads
– Managing ViewState– Compression

What is Scalability?
• “The ability to handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner” Wikipedia
• Scalability != Performance
• What affects scalability?
• Everything you see today applies to .NET 2.0 and higher
![Page 5: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Increasing Server Performance
![Page 6: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Cache?
• Because there’s a credit crunch!• Building a page is an expensive
process– Database calls across servers– Web Service calls– AD lookups
• Returning a stored page from a cache is much cheaper!
![Page 7: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Caching 1: OutputCache
• Caches the rendered HTML from your page– Duration is in seconds– VaryByParam allows you to cache several
versions– Location means you can cache on the web
server, client, downstream machines or all of these
– CacheProfiles mean you have fine config-based control
– Cached pages can be removed with HttpResponse.RemoveOutputCachedItem
• Composite scripts are outputcached for you automatically
![Page 8: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Caching 2: Donut Caching
• aka Post-Cache Substitution
• Inject dynamic content into a cached page before it is returned to the client– <asp:substitution>– Must use static methods with a
HttpContext
![Page 9: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Caching 3: Caching API
• Store objects in memory and pull them out when you need them
• Currently System.Web.Cache– But in .NET 4.0 moving to System.Data.Cache
• For data objects, you have to use DataSetsand DataTables, not DataReaders
![Page 10: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Caching 3: CacheDependency
• Objects in the cache can be dependent on other objects– When the dependency changes, the cached item
is removed– Not very useful in .NET 1.1
• .NET 2.0 introduced SqlCacheDependency– Cached objects can be dependent on SQL tables– Enable using the ASPNET_REGSQL tool– Or programmatically with the
SqlCacheDependencyAdmin object– Can integrate with OutputCaching

Caching 4: Velocity
• Velocity– Distributed cache
• One logical cache split across several servers• PowerShell management console
– CTP3 released April 09– CTP4 September 09
• V1 Q4 09?
– Microsoft.Data.Caching

Caching 4: Velocity
• Version 1– Will not have dependencies– Most appropriate to use for session state
• The future– Writethrough– Automatic caching?
• See also NCache and memcached

Paging
• Default GridView paging behaviour reads the entire dataset every time– For 100 rows this probably isn’t going to matter– For 1 000 000 rows this probably isn’t so good
• Write your own paging mechanism• For custom paging DataGrids are better than
GridViews• In SQL 2005 the ROW_NUMBER function is
your friend!• LINQ
– Skip

ViewState 2
• Taming Viewstate– Can be disabled per-control– ZIP it up and put the zipped version on the
page– Keep it on the web server
![Page 17: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Compression 1• All modern browsers will accept
compressed content– Content is compressed on the server /
decompressed by the browser– Can be enabled in IIS
or– Use the HttpCompress library
![Page 18: ASP.NET Scalability - VBUG London](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55529ad8b4c905e8128b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Compression

Compression 2
• JavaScript Compression– JSMin (http://tinyurl.com/jscriptmin)– jQuery is pre-minified for you
• CSS Compression– Icey’s CSS Compressor
(http://tinyurl.com/csscompressor)– Written in PHP

Summary
• Cache is King!• Paging is good for your pages!• Viewstate doesn’t have to be evil!
