C# Threading Trouble

Posted by John Kleijn • Saturday, January 19. 2008 • Category: Development

I decided to write a small C# application to facilitate stress testing of Web applications. The reason I didn't want to use csharp (with sockets or the cURL extension) is because I wanted to use threading. I could've gone with Java, but I fell for the ease of creating a GUI with Visual Studio.

I don't have much experience with C#, but with a little help from Google and MSDN, I was quickly able to create a simple application that makes requests and measures the time it takes to receive the response.

Finally...

I finally received all the parts for my new PC, and got it mostly running. I still want to make an OpenSuSE multiboot but that can wait for a little while.

I actually received the last parts last Wednesday, but my employer took my colleagues and me on a long weekend to Prague (thanks Coen, I had a great time), so I didn't have any time to assemble my new computer, let alone post anything on my blog.

Today isn't much different I'm afraid; it's Christmas and I'm going to my parents for diner.

But, you can expect more frequent posting in the coming days! One of the moderators over at phpfreaks.com asked if I could blog a little about an idea I had a while ago: running an entire PHP application as a daemon. Next I'll post about TDD and using SimpleTest with MockObjects, so you have that to look forward too.

Oh, and merry Christmas to any readers, naturally :-)

Antiquities and such
