Finally, An Era has come to an End. The world’s most successfully and inspired legend has passed away!

One of the feature implemented as part of performance improvement in ASP.NET vNext is – multi-core JIT compilation. This give a better performance boost specially after a  cold site boot (e.g.. AppPool recycle, etc). This functionality is implemented in System.Runtime.ProfileOptimization.StartProfile method.

Thankfully, this feature is enabled by default. You don’t have to make your hands dirty to enable it. And, if you want to turn-off this feature, then do include the below code in your website’s web.config file.

   1: <system.web> 

   2:     <compilation profileGuidedOptimizations="None"  />

   3: </system.web>

Thanks.

Did you hear that? ASP.NET vNext is around the corner!

Check out here to know what’s new in ASP.NET vNext. I’m so impressed with the new set of features tied with the ASP.NET framework.

Get Ready! Sharpen your tools!

Yup! It’s true! Google has shutdown their Dictionary Service and no announcements have been made further. So, what’s next? Where you’ll go for authentic definition services?

Note: If you are still using accelerator Google Define with preview, then please install this service; since Google has shutdown their dictionary service and the accelerator won’t be functioning anymore!

Here we go - Oxford Dictionary Service. The same big and the pocket-size book which we usually referred when we were school going kids.

Yes, I had come up with my next IE Accelerator Service – Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary with Preview.

Install your Accelerator here:

Now, checking for definition is so easy:

1. select the text
2. click the accelerator button
3. mouse-over Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary Accelerator and preview the definitions.

Don’t know what an accelerator is? Check here or here.

Cool…! Isn’t it?
