What is Client Application Development in .net ?

Client applications are the closest to a traditional style of application in Windows-based programming. These are the types of applications that display windows or forms on the desktop, enabling a user to perform a task. Client applications include applications such as word processors and spreadsheets, as well as custom business applications such as data-entry tools, reporting tools, and so on. Client applications usually employ windows, menus, buttons, and other GUI elements, and they likely access local resources such as the file system and peripherals such as printers.
Another kind of client application is the traditional ActiveX control (now replaced by the managed Windows Forms control) deployed over the Internet as a Web page. This application is much like other client applications: it is executed natively, has access to local resources, and includes graphical elements.
In the past, developers created such applications using C/C++ in conjunction with the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) or with a rapid application development (RAD) environment such as Microsoft® Visual Basic®. The .NET Framework incorporates aspects of these existing products into a single, consistent development environment that drastically simplifies the development of client applications.
The Windows Forms classes contained in the .NET Framework are designed to be used for GUI development. You can easily create command windows, buttons, menus, toolbars, and other screen elements with the flexibility necessary to accommodate shifting business needs.
For example, the .NET Framework provides simple properties to adjust visual attributes associated with forms. In some cases the underlying operating system does not support changing these attributes directly, and in these cases the .NET Framework automatically recreates the forms. This is one of many ways in which the .NET Framework integrates the developer interface, making coding simpler and more consistent.
Unlike ActiveX controls, Windows Forms controls have semi-trusted access to a user's computer. This means that binary or natively executing code can access some of the resources on the user's system (such as GUI elements and limited file access) without being able to access or compromise other resources. Because of code access security, many applications that once needed to be installed on a user's system can now be safely deployed through the Web. Your applications can implement the features of a local application while being deployed like a Web page.

8 common methods for server performance optimization

  1. Use an in-memory database In-memory database is actually a database that puts data in memory and operates directly. Compared with the disk, the data read and write speed of the memory is several orders of magnitude higher. Saving the data in the memory can greatly improve the performance of the application compared to accessing it from the disk. The memory database abandoned the traditional way of disk data management, redesigned the architecture based on all data in memory, and made corresponding improvements in data caching, fast algorithms, and parallel operations, so the data processing speed is faster than that of traditional databases. Data processing speed is much faster.       But the problem of security can be said to be the biggest flaw in the memory database. Because the memory itself has the natural defect of power loss, when we use the memory database, we usually need to take some protection mechanisms for the data on the memory in advance, such...
