what's the difference...

ari
hey all,

i was wondering what the difference is between obtaining a user name like

Request.ServerV ariables("Auth_ User").Split("\ ")(1))

and

User.Identity.N ame

Is one newer than the other or something like that?

thanks,
ari

Request.ServerV ariables("Auth_ User").Split("\ ")(1))
uses a language feature to parse a server variable.

User.Identity.N ame uses a native .Net property

Using a native .net class is usually more efficient
than using a Server Collection like ServerVariables .

When you load ServerVariables you load the whole collection.
That's quite a lot of data.

Juan, is there any resource that maps the properties from the
ServerVariables collection to properties in a class that may be provided by
the framework?

Hi, Clinton.

Some, although not all, of the Server Variables are collected
by System.Web.Http Request as individual properties.

See :
http://beta.asp.net/QUICKSTART/util/...ss=HttpRequest

So, Request.ServerV ariables("URL") is provided by System.Web.Http Request.Url
and Request.ServerV ariables("APPLI CATION_PHYSICAL _PATH") is
provided by Request.Physica lApplicationPat h.

Interestingly, the whole ServerVariables Collection is also provided
by System.Web.Http Request as a separate NameValueCollec tion,
so all the Request.ServerV ariables are available, although at the
performance cost mentioned.

The HttpRequest class adds a few properties not found in Request.ServerV ariables, too.

Hi all, I am not clear what is the difference between signed and unsigned in C. Many say, unsigned means only +ve values and 0. Can I use unsigned int i = -3? What happens internally ? What conversion happens? Also on 32 and 64bit machines what happens? Can anybody explain?

Hello fellow C programmers, I'm just learning to program with C, and I'm wondering what the difference between signed and unsigned char is. To me there seems to be no difference, and the standard doesn't even care what a normal char is (because signed and unsigned have equal behavior). For example if someone does this: unsigned char a = -2; /* or = 254 */
