I was recently cautioned against storing an ADO.NET Connection String in the
Windows Registry because access to the Windows Registry would be serialized
and therefore impact scalability.
I have been able to find reasons to not use the Registry for storing
Connection Strings, but the reasons given seem to be security-related.
Does anyone know if there are performance-related reasons for NOT storing
Connection Strings in the Windows Registry?
Thanks! 1 1965
I see your point. Even if there is serialization, you can work around it by
caching and refreshing the cache periodically. Thank you :-)
I am still also trying to verify if this serialization will indeed occur.

application's cache... Could also use an expiration policy on the cache so that it re-loads the string from the registry every x minutes.

Hello,
I have developed a web application that connects to 2 different database
servers. The connection strings with db username + password are stored in
web.config file.
After a code review, one developer suggested that it's a security flaw;
therefore connection strings should be kept somewhere else or encrypted.
My argument is that web.config file is protected by IIS and Windows security
which is the case. And another argument is that...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
