System.Threading.Tasks for Silverlight

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:38:46 GMT

There are a number of solutions out there to get the Task Parallel Library onto Silverlight platforms. But those solutions are incomplete in one form or another... they either don't include the awesome collections from System.Collections.Concurrent, or the API is not compatible with what shipps in the Framework, or both. Even the TPL in Silverlight 5 only includes the System.Threading.Tasks namespace, and not the Concurrent Collections.

This package aims to solve that problem. It is a complete port of the TPL, courtesy of the Mono Project. Every aspect is 100% API compatible with the shipping .NET Framework, so you can write the same parallel code for every platform without having to worry about using conditional compilation to change your application's control flow.

Includes:

Tuples (SL3, WP7, WP7.1)
BlockingCollection, ConcurrentDisctionary, ConcurrentorderedList, ConcurrentStack, ConcurrentQueue (SL3, SL4, SL5, WP7, WP7.1)
Parallel.For, Parallel.For<T>, Parallel.ForEach, Parallel.ForEach<T> (SL3, SL4, SL5, WP7, WP7.1)
Task, Task<TResult>, TaskFactory (SL3, SL4, WP7, WP7.1)
*NEW* ArrayList, SortedList, StructuralComparisons (All platforms)
*NEW* CollectionDebuggerView (All platforms)
*NEW* TaskDebuggerView (SL3, SL4, WP7, WP7.1)
*NEW* .NET 3.5 support

2.1.1 - An adjustment to fix test in the package itself (no binary changes).

Windows Azure RoleTools

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 20:26:48 GMT

I have put together a set of utilities that can help ease the process of configuring your Windows Azure environment during deployment. These are meant to be called during the WebRole.OnStart event, from an elevated task.

Includes:

Ability to automatically fix the MachineKey based on keys in AppSettings (previous versions of the Azure SDK ignored the MachineKey setting in web.config, so you had to fix it programmatically)
Ability to fix the missing compression for JSON & SOAP+XML
Ability to set the AppDomains to start automatically (experimental)
Ability to trigger a WebRequest at a specified interval to keep your WebRole warmed up (experimental)

Version History:

0.2 - Initial release
