Communication Technologies For .Net Applications

Image
   ASMX , also called ASP.NET Web Services, would be an option for cross platform communication like with the Java EE-based application others across the Internet. Given that Web services are widely supported today, this would likely be the most direct way to achieve cross-vendor interoperability.

Communication between different applications and processes is a necessity for sharing resources, Business logics and data. Networking solutions enabled PCs to be able to communicate with each other and share resources such as printers and disks, applications needed to be able to send and receive data and coordinate their actions with other applications running at the same time on other computers. Many common inter-process communications mechanisms were available, such as named pipes and sockets. These mechanisms were very low-level and using them required a good understanding of how networks work. But for rapid development we have to rely on the available frameworks that have stable, scalable and secured design and already tested under various scenarios.

Working with DropDownList with MVC and KnockoutJs to limit the data posted on the server efficient way

Working with Knockoutjs and MVC makes our life easy, but still there are some points that require some special attention. And one of these points is How much data is posted back to the server when we make a async call? Well it is obviously not required for very small application that target very limited users that are using very high connectivity with the server. but most of the application are not like that. In general we have to take care of such things to make our application more reliable and scalable. Quick reference to the issue i have observed in many applications.
