Hi Expert!
I got a report showing the list of current sale volume by each office
branch. We got 20 offices. Is there a slideshow software package or ASP.NET
control out there to display my report as what PowerPoint does. I would like
to be able to pass in the report parameters.
Thanks in advance for any clue

One option would be to use SnagIt to record the parameter passing,
report execution, etc; and then play it back as video or use
screenshot frames. Hope this is helpful.

I would like to my slideshow to be real-time as much as possible, that means
once it reaches the end of the slideshow, it should be able to re-query again
and display the new sale volume in the next 1st slide. You can think of this
like stocks banner or something like that.

How to count a very large volume of request
Hello,
What is the best way to accomplish the following.
1) An ASP.NET program (consiting of one file somepage.aspx) receives about
25,000,000 requests pay day.
2) The requests come from a limited set of IP addresses.
3) How to count the total number of request from each IP address per day.
SQL Server 2000 is used on the backend.
Currently we used the following architecture:
* Each request to somepage.aspx generates an INSERT into a LogTable1
* There is a clustered index on the LogTable1 on the dateStamp field which
is of the type smalldatetime
* The dateStamp field has a default that sets it to the getdate()
* At the end of each day at 12:01AM there is a simple query that runs and
does a group by to count the number of requests from each IP in the given
date range (past 24 hours). This query works great and takes only 2 minutes
to run.
Is there a better way to accomplish this without having to do INSERTS into
the LogTable1 for each request?
It would not work to have the ASP.NET program execute an UPDATE each time to
increment the total number of request, since this would cause LOTSSS of
locking in the database layer.
Thanks in advance.
ArsenYou could store the data in your Application Cache, and update it
periodically to the database.

What about using the IIS log file?
you could set it in the way you need it, basically the client IP and maybe
the time, if you configure it to update daily all you have to do at 12:01
is run a process that read the file generated and do what you need.

Do you suggest storing the TOTALs in the Cache?
Or storing the actual requests: date and ip
Would there be a locking problem?
How to do the "periodic updates" to the database from the Cache?

You could put a DataTable in the Application Cache, and add records to it
with each Request. As for periodic updating, you could put a routine in the
Session_OnStart Sub that checks an Application DateTime variable, and at
certain intervals, inserts all the records from the DataTable into the
database and clears out the DataTable.
To be safe, you would want to add code to your Application_OnEnd sub to
update the database if the Application stops or times out; however, with 25M
requests per day, that might not be necessary.

What is the best way to accomplish the following.
1) An ASP.NET program (consiting of one file somepage.aspx) receives about
25,000,000 requests pay day.
2) The requests come from a limited set of IP addresses.
3) How to count the total number of request from each IP address per day.
SQL Server 2000 is used on the backend.
Currently we used the following architecture:
* Each request to somepage.aspx generates an INSERT into a LogTable1
* There is a clustered index on the LogTable1 on the dateStamp field which
is of the type smalldatetime
* The dateStamp field has a default that sets it to the getdate()
* At the end of each day at 12:01AM there is a simple query that runs and
does a group by to count the number of requests from each IP in the given
date range (past 24 hours). This query works great and takes only 2 minutes
to run.
Is there a better way to accomplish this without having to do INSERTS into
the LogTable1 for each request?
It would not work to have the ASP.NET program execute an UPDATE each time to
increment the total number of request, since this would cause LOTSSS of
locking in the database layer.
Thanks in advance.
ArsenYou could store the data in your Application Cache, and update it
periodically to the database.

What about using the IIS log file?
you could set it in the way you need it, basically the client IP and maybe
the time, if you configure it to update daily all you have to do at 12:01
is run a process that read the file generated and do what you need.

Do you suggest storing the TOTALs in the Cache?
Or storing the actual requests: date and ip
Would there be a locking problem?
How to do the "periodic updates" to the database from the Cache?
Thanks,
Arsen

You could put a DataTable in the Application Cache, and add records to it
with each Request. As for periodic updating, you could put a routine in the
Session_OnStart Sub that checks an Application DateTime variable, and at
certain intervals, inserts all the records from the DataTable into the
database and clears out the DataTable.
To be safe, you would want to add code to your Application_OnEnd sub to
update the database if the Application stops or times out; however, with 25M
requests per day, that might not be necessary.

the start of the 15 min interval, pagename, and number of hits during the
interval. as most users cluster their hits, this cuts down the number of
inserts.
i flush the cache every 15 minutes of when too large.
you can then get daily or hourly stats from the db with simple queries.
