Architecture: My Passion in Life

I would say Performance , Maintainability and Scalability are probably the highest. A software needs to perform well, an underperforming software is an annoyance and will drive the customers away.  Maintainability is also key for post production - if a software architecture is not done keeping maintainability in mind , bug fixes and enhancements can be a nightmare.  Scalability is the next thing in line because most products need to grow and change with time, happens with all of them.  These one of the main factors that I would keep in mind while designing and architecting software. The factor would be for both Functional and Non-Functional requirement of Software Application. However the important factor would be for Non-Functional i.e. Performance, Scalability, Maintainability, Security. The reason for addressing all nonfunctional requirements is because those are hidden a...

I have been writing an application that loads large amounts of data into the a database. The process of loading the data into the database goes through several steps requiring a considerable amount of time to complete. The long processing time is not a matter of concern from the application stand point. However, frequently the application throws a "ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected" message that says the following: Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x20450a0 to COM context 0x20452f0 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives ...
