I have purchased with many sites and I thought to experience new website but the issue is they are not mature enough to have good customer experience. I suggest you to purchase from

- Ebay
- IndiaPlaza
- Infybeam
- Tradus

And for RightGadgets.in…A BIG NO..Don’t go with it.

IE9–Increase last Visited Websites in Address bar

The default settings of IE9 has only 5 last visited websites and that sometimes irritates user as they could not select website that we visit daily. It looks something like this:

If we want to view this list fully, we need to change following settings:

Goto IE9 > Internet Options > Content Tab > AutoComplete and uncheck all the items below address bar. Keep addressbar checked.

That’s it!!!. It will show entire list of site.

MVC 3 RTM Install Error (after upgrading to VS2010 SP1)

I have problem installing SP1 as well as MVC 3 RTM.

Following is the kind of error which I was getting in installation.

Action: Performing Action on Exe at k:\temp\ext27692\VS10-KB2483190-x86.exe…

For Resolutions:

I repair/reinstall VS 2010 so that I can install VS2010 SP1.

For MVC, I followed following article:-

Change the method’s message name using WebMethodAttribute or change the type’s root element using the XmlRootAttribute."

We have just received the error when we tried to return a type which contains Response behind it.

Like,

We have webmethod, UpdateStatus and we have following signature

Public Function UpdateStatus(….) as UpdateStatusResponse

But it gives us above exception when I try it using URL to access the service. Then after some debugging and googling, I found that, .NET uses internal class that uses UpdateStatusResponse. If I change the name to UpdateStatusResult and error gone

Subsonic Migration from 1.0.3 to 3.0 has issues with Performance

We have worked with subsonic from around last 4 years and I am very much impressed with how it started. It’s really easy to understand, easy to generate and easy to implement subsonic ORM. So we started using it every project in our company.

But one of our client needs upgrades from 1.0.3 to 3.0 and we started the migration process. But at the end of this process we end up cancelling the Migration and do it from 1.0.3 to 2.2.

The main issue was when we see it in profiler was the linq query creation and execution was taking more time. One of our functions when converted was 3x slower. I don’t know but it seems the development of Subsonic after Rob left might be stuck somewhere or going slow. And I searched in stackoverflow and lot of guys have this issue regarding performance with Subsonic.

I believe Subsonic is great tool and ORM but due to the fact that we could not use 3.0 and LINQ for the new projects, we might need to search something relatively near to Subsonic in implementation. Might be it’s time to try NHibernate . Or try to join the SubSonic team .
