Application Pool



An Application Pool can contain one or more applications and allows us to configure a level of isolation between different Web applications. For example, if you want to isolate all the Web applications running in the same computer, you can do this by creating a separate application pool for every Web application and placing them in their corresponding application pool. Because each application pool runs in its own worker process, errors in one application pool will not affect the applications running in other application pools. Deploying applications in application pools is a primary advantage of running IIS 6.0 in worker process isolation mode because you can customize the application pools to achieve the degree of application isolation that you need.
  • Application pools are used to separate set of IIS worker processes that share the same configuration.
  • Application pools enable us to isolate our web application for better security, reliability, and availability
  • AppPools can run as different identities, so you can restrict permissions this way.
  • You can recycle/restart one app pool without affecting the sites that are running in different app pools.
  • Application pools allow you to isolate your applications from one another
  • If they are running on the same server. This way, if there is an error in one app, it won't take down other applications.
  • Applications pools allow you to separate different apps which require different levels of security.
  • You can assign a different identity to each app pool so that when you run task manager, you know which w3wp.exe is which.
  • If you have a website that has a memory leak or generally misbehaves, you can place it in an app pool so it doesn't affect the other web sites
  • If you have a website that is very CPU-intensive (like resizing photos, for instance), you can place it in its own app pool and throttle its CPU utilization
  • If you have multiple websites that each has their own SQL database, you can use active directory authentication instead of storing usernames/passwords in web.config.

Connected and disconnected architecture in ADO.Net with Example

Connected Architecture of ADO.NET The architecture of ADO.net, in which connection must be opened to access the data retrieved from database is called as connected architecture. Connected architecture was built on the classes connection, command, datareader and transaction.  Connected architecture is when you constantly make trips to the database for any CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operation you wish to do. This creates more traffic to the database but is normally much faster as you should be doing smaller transactions. Disconnected Architecture in ADO.NET The architecture of ADO.net in which data retrieved from database can be accessed even when connection to database was closed is called as disconnected architecture. Disconnected architecture of ADO.net was built on classes connection, dataadapter, commandbuilder and dataset and dataview. Disconnected architecture is a method of retrieving a r...

HTTPHandler and HTTPModule in ASP.NET

If you want to implement pre-processing logic before a request hits the IIS resources. For instance you would like to apply security mechanism, URL rewriting, filter something in the request, etc. ASP.NET has provided two types of interception HttpModule and HttpHandler .   The web server examines the file name extension of the requested file, and determines which ISAPI extension should handle the request. Then the request is passed to the appropriate ISAPI extension.  For Example When an .aspx page is requested it is passed to ASP.Net page handler. Then Application domain is created and after that different ASP.Net objects like Httpcontext, HttpRequest, HttpResponse. HTTPModule: -    It's just like a filter. The Modules are called before and after the handler executes . -    HTTP Modules are objects which also participate the pipeline but they work before and after the HTTP Handler does its job, and produce additional serv...
