Building Better Performing .NET Applications

To build better performing .NET applications that meet your objectives, you must first understand where bottlenecks generally occur, what causes these bottlenecks, and the steps that you can take in order to prevent bottlenecks from occurring in your .NET application. A combination of optimized platform, sound architecture and design, and the best practice coding techniques and configuration is mandatory.
In today's fast moving world, businesses in every industry demand true productivity. For that reason, users do not have the time to wait around for their devices to retrieve data or calculate answers to display on the screen.
The .NET Framework allows developers to create applications easily that make it possible for the work force to record data from the field to bring to the office in addition to taking data out of their office. Distributed applications and having to move your data around across systems create complexities. Therefore, .NET developers must understand user needs, device resources, using devices with backend systems, and the way .NET applications actually perform.

Too Little Too Late
An obstacle to application performance is.NET developers building progressively more complex applications, yet are staying within the confines of their Local Area Networks, which is well protected in addition to being unrestricted, throughout the development process.
All too often, developers are not concerned with the wider issues of WAN performance. Such attitudes are due to the fact that in the past, there was no need to worry about anything that the developers had no control or influence over until application deployment. A period of frustrating and painful reactive performance management was always assured when the application went live.
While no multitude of technology vendors addressing application performance exist, most focus on the production environment after deployment, when locating and solving issues with .NET application can be extremely expensive, exasperating and time consuming.

Optimize As You Code
The ideal solution is to code the .NET application for optimal performance over the WAN, right from the very beginning. It is possible to do this in a way that does not require you to be and expert, nor will you have to make changes to your current development practices.
Optimizing code for .NET application performance during the development phase is a simple and easy process. With a simple network simulation product, it only takes a few clicks of your mouse to turn your developer desktop into a remote workstation. You will be able to assess and enumerate the effects of application code performance over the WAN.
This makes it possible for .NET developers to immediately identify and resolve network related functionality, design and usability errors within application modules, without altering current working procedures.
.NET developers can start testing their code under variable degrees of packet loss, latency, and bandwidth limitations. It is a small augmentation to the unit testing process, but it can lead to a host of benefits, such as reduced number of bugs and frustration, shorter development lifecycles and applications with overall improved quality.
