What is GAC?

GAC is nothing but the folder where we have installed the shared assemblies. Still framework 2.0 it was installed in the folder C:\Windows\assembly\

The location of the GAC is changed by the framework 4.0. When installing the assemblies created by 4.0 Environment, it will install in the following folder:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\MySharedAssemebly\v4.0_10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\CustomMarshalers\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a

The assemblies created by us will be installed under the GAC_MSIL folder. GAC_MSIL contains assemblies thet are run 32 bit or 64 bit machines. GAC_32 is only for 32 bit machine assemblies.

Here, MySharedAssemebly is the shared assembly name.

Large Volume of Dataset Transfer from WCF to Silverlight

Most of the times the developers, architects have the problem to retrieve large volume of data from WCF Service to Silverlight client applications. It’s a big head ache for developers. But it’s not up to that much problematic one. We can solve this problem by changing some property’s values in Web.config of WCF Service host, Silverlight application’s ServiceReference.clientconfig and Silverlight XAP hosted ASP.Net Applications. Here I’m going to explain the Web.config changes we need to retrieve large volume of data from WCF Service and also uploading large size of files to the Server. Last week, I was trying to figure out why my WCF service call always threw the generic NotFound exception when trying to retrieve large datasets. Even though, I set buffer limits to 2147483647 (int.MaxValue) in the Silverlight ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file and WCF Service configuration Section under web.config the problem was persisting. I tried so many things from Data Access Layer and UI....

Unity vs MEF in Prism

Prism offering two injection containers named Unity and MEF. Both the containers have their own capabilities. Before choosing the container decide your environment needs. Some of the capabilities provided by both ( Unity & MEF ) containers include the following: Both register types with the container. Both register instances with the container. Both imperatively create instances of registered types. Both inject instances of registered types into constructors. Both inject instances of registered types into properties. Both have declarative attributes for marking types and dependencies that need to be managed. Both resolve dependencies in an object graph. Unity provides several capabilities that MEF does not: Unity resolves concrete types without registration. Unity resolves open generics. Unity uses interception to capture calls to objects and add additional functionality to the target object. MEF provides several capabilities that Unity does not:...
