Common Intermediate Language (CIL) (formerly called Microsoft Intermediate Language or MSIL) is the lowest-level human-readable programming language in the Common Language Infrastructure and in the .NET Framework. Languages which target the .NET Framework compile to CIL, which is assembled into bytecode. CIL resembles an object-oriented assembly language, and is entirely stack-based. It is executed by a virtual machine. The primary .NET languages are C#, Visual Basic .NET, C++/CLI, and J#.

ASP.NET is Microsoft�s extension to HTML. It requires an ASP.NET compatible web server. Such as, Abyss or IIS (Internet Information Services from Microsoft).

AJAX stands for "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML." It is a technology that facilitates the development of responsive web applications. Responsive means that you can have your data refreshed without the need of full page postback which can significantly reduced bandwidth usage and faster performance. AJAX is a "cross-platform" technology and can be used across various operating systems, computer architectures and different web browsers as it is based on XML and JavaScript that are open standards. PHP, ASP.NET,ASP,JSP, Cold fusion all can integrate AJAX library into their code easily. But to use AJAX library it is not that simple and sometimes it is quite hard to code, therefore Mcrosoft has create their own set of AJAX library and named it as ATLAS.

In this article, I would like to share and explain about Session objects in ASP.NET 2.0. How it is used and what new features has been introduced. I will also list out all the type of Session objects that you can use and the best practices for every Session objects type. In classic ASP, the Session object was held in process (as was everything) to the IIS process and therefore any crash to the IIS or apps pool being reset will cause the whole Session object being resetted. Hence this will make the Session objects not reliable at all and cannot be used to stored important data especially if your website is dealing with client login information or e-commerce type of website. In ASP.NET 2.0, new features has been introduced to make the Session objects more reliable and robust.

What makes them special is that unlike the C function pointer, the .NET delegate is type safe. Delegates exists for situations in which you want to pass methods arounds to other methods. Using a delegate allows the programmer to encapsulate a reference to a method inside a delegate object. As a .NET developer you will be using delegates and events extensively, especially when developing the Windows Forms applications.

Caching is the process of storing frequently used data on the server to fulfill subsequent requests.You will discover that grabbing data or objects from memory is much faster than recreating the web pages or items contained in them from scratch. A Proper use and fine tune of caching approach of caching will result on better performance and scalability of your site. However improper use of caching will actually slow down and consume lots of your server performance and memory usage. Good candidate to use caching is if you have infrequent chance of data or static content of web page.

This article will guide you on creating a simple WindowsService. WindowsServices are applications that can be automatically started when the operating system boots.
