ASP.NET built in user profile, Vs old stile user class/tables |

I am looking for the spiritual guidance of what is the best practice around the use of Profile feature in ASP.NET.
How do you decide what should be kept in the built in user Profile, or if you should just go and create your own DB Table and add a column for that? For example, a user has a zip code, should I save the... |

Entity-SQL (eSQL) allows you to do things such as dynamic queries more easily than LINQ to Entities. However, if you don't have a scenario that requires eSQL, I would be hesitant to rely on it over LINQ because it will be much harder to maintain (e.g. no more compile-time checking, etc).
I believe LINQ allows you t... |
Have you tried using the DefaultValueAttribute or ShouldSerialize and Reset methods in conjunction with the constructor? I feel like one of these two methods is necessary if you're making a class that might show up on the designer surface or in a property grid.

You can [load sos][1] and your memory dump into Visual Studio to at least insulate you from the 'interesting' ui that WinDbg presents.

perfmon from Microsoft can monitor each individual CPU. perfmon also works remote and you can monitor farious aspects of Windows.

Embedding a remote Python shell in an application |

You can embed the [IPython](http://ipython.scipy.org/) shell inside of your application so that it launches the shell in the foreground. Is there a way to embed a telnet server in a python app so that you can telnet to a certain port and launch a remote IPython shell?

Individual CPU usage is available through the standard windows performance counters. You can monitor this in perfmon.
However, it won't give you the result you are looking for. Unless a thread/process has been explicitly bound to a single CPU then a run-away process will not spike one core to 100% while all the ot... |

Why does TreeNodeCollection not implenent IEnumerable<TreeNode>? |

In my experience its best to keep an the info in the profile to a bare minimum, only put the essentials in there that are directly needed for authentication. Other information such as addresses should be saved in your own database by your own application logic, this approach is more extensible and maintainable. |
I think that depends on how many fields you need. To my knowledge, Profiles are essentially a long string that gets split at the given field sizes, which means that they do not scale very well if you have many fields and users.

IMO you may be better off with ASP.Net. While you would have a slight learning curve, you'd be developing on a proven, reliable, scalable model rather than something thats in beta and will likely change before RTM.
Also, with AJAX these days its possible to get a pretty slick user experience out of ASP.Net.

I think you can avoid a commit hook script in this case by using the svn:eol-style property as described <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html"> here </a> in the Red Book.
This way SVN can worry about your line endings for you.
