    Hi,
    Both of your articles on Performance Testing using VSTS has been of great help. Keep up the good work.
    If I have to go with your last reply, I believe you might have published the Part III of the same, but I am not able to find the link. Can you please share the link if you have already published it.

    Thanks,

    Hi. Nice work with your blog. I’m reading this article http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article963-workflow-foundation-40-activity-designer-.aspx. It’s very interesting for me. I want to design an activiy designer with a drag and drop zone to encapsulate several activities. This is done following your sample. I need now put one activity over drag and drop zone and another one under that. For example put a “Receive activity” then put the drag and drop zone and then put the “SendReply activity”. Receive activity will be always the same, and a developer will use drag and drop zone in order to personalize the custom activity. Could you help with that?

    Thank you

      Hi

      From your explanation, what I understand is you need a custom activity with Receive as the first child and have facility to add more activities.
      If you want to fix the first child as Receive activity by default, you can add the same in the custom Activity code, not in Activity designer code.
      If you have furthur queries, please reply back.

    Hi Ambily,

    Following your articles on “Performance Testing using VSTS” I have started getting into performance testing, I have no prior development experience. I would be glad if you can suggest on how I can improvise.
    I like to know about the Threshold for web performance, are there any set standards or it depends on individual application?

      Hi Moorthi

      As you are already working as a web developer, you may be aware of one of the web technologies like ASP.Net.
      Concentrate on any one of the web technology and improve your skill in a particular area.

      If you have logical reasoning skill, you can learn any programming languages and code in that language.

    Greetings!

    Could you please give me your advice on this scenario? I could it doing it wrong, so please let me know.

    I have a Registration and Order page to test in my application. The Registration page has a form with userId, emailId, password, and Address fields. After the page is submitted, the user is allowed to place an Order and fill in a few more fields. I want to perform a load test simulating 10 different users, each providing a unique set of data. If the field values are not unique when they are submitted our application will throw an error message.

    Q1. How do I provide different sets of data?
    Q2. How do I cleanup when the load test is completed?

    Thank you.
    Srinivas

        hi
        in foreienkey_edit.cs
        we found this code
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        if (DropDownList1.Items.Count == 0)
        {
        if (Mode == DataBoundControlMode.Insert || !Column.IsRequired)
        {
        DropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem(“[name]”, “”));
        }

        PopulateListControl(DropDownList1);

        //sorting DropDown by Text

        SortedDropdownlist(DropDownList1);

        }

        which actually bind FK coulnm as in dropdown list now in my case
        dropdown list binds all usernames from user table
        i dont want all usernames i want only those who starts with ‘a’
        how can i write linq to sql qeury?
        one way i founf we can override the data of PopulateListControl(DropDownList1);
        like i did method //sorting DropDown by Text

        SortedDropdownlist(DropDownList1);
        but failed to write code of selected usernames
        public void SortedDropdownlist(DropDownList ddl)
        {
        List sorted = new List();
        foreach (ListItem item in ddl.Items)
        {
        sorted.Add(item);
        if (item.Text == “a”) { sorted.Add(item); }
        //i just took condition like name is similar to ‘a’ then also it failed to show only ‘a’
        }
        //remove all items from the DropDownList

        ddl.Items.Clear();

        //add the sorted items to the DropDownList

        ddl.Items.AddRange(sorted.ToArray());
        }

    Hi Ambily, Thanks for your articles on VSTS Load Testing. I have a confusion about the Page_Time values in the result after the web test. I ran tests on our BI site in the dashboard pages (Performance Point) containing filters, SSRS reports and Bing map web parts. The page time results that I get seem more inclined to the bare page load with filters only. Because ssars reports, maps take longer to process and show. Now, how should I intrpret this Page_Time value to decide on the performnace of our site from the page load perspective. Our target is to have any page load completely in 20 secs MAX to make the site acceptable to users.

    Hi Ambily

    Good day. I am a technical architect at CGI and currently developing TFS web custom control

    I have started with the help of your article and I was really very informative

    https://www.simple-talk.com/dotnet/visual-studio/customizing-team-foundation-server-2013/#commentform

    I also found a blog by Serkani here https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/serkani/

    We have huge list of complex custom controls (40 to 50) developed in Team explorer 2013 for various work items and needed to develop the same in web view as well. As you might imagine it is quite lot of work and not many information available for references.

    I have few questions regarding this and your response is highly appreciated

    1. How to create utility java script files (say methods to call our web api) and to be referenced in custom control javascript file?
    2. How to change the control UI based on some actions performed in other fields?
    3. How to use jquery ajax and jquery ui controls?
    4. Is there a documentation or how to samples available?

    Thank you again
