Slow first Time in ASP.NET applications

Well, this is a recurrent topic with ASP.NET:Why is the first page load always so slowjQuery152032498610322363675_1363786231988?

I don't think there is a definite answer but I can think on some explanations:

• ASP.NET applications by nature exhibit some degree of delay upon initial access to the site. This can be due to JIT compilation, caching, etc. 
• Note that it is also a common effect on some sharepoint sites. 
• Some people on StackExchange attribute this slowness to: " The IIS application pool is shut down after 30 minutes of inactivity. After that, when you make a request IIS basically has to start the website up again, which leads to the behavior you are describing. You can change the idle time of your website in iis though to avoid it."

CommandBarControl Click Event is not Working!!!!

Today I was doing a VS extention as part of my weekend relaxation activities ;)

Everything was great until succendly something was not happening as I expected.

 I was adding a context menu to the code window with a dynamic list of options.

And each option had a different click delegate, but my click events were

disrespectfully discarted.

 Luckily I found this post:  http://www.rauchy.net/blog/?cat=4&paged=2

 And now for a tricky part: since you ge\t your instance of CommandBarEvents inside the scope of a method, when the method ends, the Garbage Collector collects it, leaving all the event handlers orphaned. Unless you keep your instance safe from the jaws of the mighty Garbage Collector, your buttons will not respond to clicks.

To do so, just keep your CommandBarEvents instance(s) as member fields of your class. Once your class is disposed, they will be disposed as well.

 Thanks Rauchy you saved my day! (And my wife is happy because I'm finally getting out of the bathroom :P)

How to create an adding that add context menu for certain files types in Visual Studio

Recently I was looking for a way to create an Adding that will add a Context Menu only when I Right Click on .xaml files.

I know there a many ways now, but I still love using VS studio addins for some simple tasks.

In case you are wondering how to do that 

I found this great article: http://davedewinter.com/2008/03/22/dynamic-menu-commands-in-visual-studio-packages-part-2/

Remove unused references VB6

As part of the VB Companion Development group, my day to day includes
migrating several project from different clients, to develop custom mappings
and custom functionality for their migration needs or to add new features
for the next VB Companion version.

A long part of the initialization in the migration process consists of the load and
analysis of the COM references indicated in the .VBP project file.

Sometimes I have notice that there are several references that are never used.
Removing these references will provide a great save in time because the migration will
not have to incur in any time for TypeLib and TypeInfo extraction.

I look for a tool that let me get rid of the VB6 unused referencences but I found none.
So I decided to create one myself. And I created the VB6 Project References Cleaner Addin

The concept of the tool is simple, someone from a group posted the idea I just implemented.
The addin goes thru all the references and one by one tries to remove it.
And then compiles the project. It the project compiles,then the reference was not neccesary.
If you mark the remove option the tool will remove the references for you.

This tool will NOT SAVE the project file. You decide if you what to save it.

I'm attaching the source code and the dll. To used it just take the VB6References.dll and run:

  regsvr32 VB6References.dll
