-Task Description
The most significant difference between programming for the Internet and programming for the desktop is state management - in other words, how you retain information for the current user. In a traditional Windows application, state is managed automatically. Memory is plentiful and always available. In a web application, it's a different story. Thousands of users might simultaneously run the same application on the same computer (the web server), each one communicating over the stateless HTTP of the Internet. These conditions make it impossible to program a web application like a traditional Windows program. Understanding these state limitations is the key to creating efficient, robust web applications. The scope of this project is to test and benchmark the standard (offered by ASP.NET and IIS) ways to retain state in a web-application by means of efficiency/performance, scalability and recoverability. These mechanisms include the session state mechanism with its different modes InProc, StateServer and SqlServer. This analysis has to take place in preparation for introducing a new custom state-management mechanism that should combine all of the anaylised benefits by using a space - which is the subject of my upcoming diploma thesis.
