This is some really great stuff that amazon has released since the boom towards cloud computing. After Linux based clouds, now Windows based clouds are available and ready to perform. It’s a great opportunity for developers to be able to create application for a cloud. I’ll be definitely trying it out any where soon with a small web application to see the performance achieved over a period of time and give some feedback about this new service.

Amazon EC2 running Microsoft Windows Server® 2003 is a fast and dependable environment for deploying applications using the Microsoft Web Platform, including ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, SilverlightTM, and Internet Information Server (IIS). Amazon EC2 enables you to run any compatible Windows-based solution on AWS’ high-performance, reliable, cost-effective, cloud computing platform. Common Windows use cases include website and web-service hosting, high-performance computing (HPC) and data processing, media transcoding, distributed testing, ASP.NET application hosting, and any other application requiring Windows software. Amazon EC2 also now supports the SQL Server® Express and SQL Server Standard databases, and makes those offerings available to customers on an hourly basis.

Copy custom object in C#

Written by jf on August 9, 2007 – 8:27 am -

There are several ways to clone custom object in .NET.

  • Using reflection to get information about each field and properties in the custom class, create a new instance and assign the proper value.
  • Manually implementing the clone method and assign each field and method and then return a new object
  • Using serialization and deserialization.

I have tried the third method, that can be found here, it seems to be working fine for the time being, more test need to be done for performance overhead.
