MsgPack size = JSON / 2

MsgPack vs. JSON: Cut your client-server exchange traffic by 50% with one line of code | indiegamr:

you can save up to 40% (and some cases even 60%)
of your traffic caused by client-server communication
with not more than one line of code?

The magic word is “MsgPack” –
it is a ‘binary-based efficient object serialization library‘.

Runtime Error:


Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error



Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".



<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.



<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

VB6 is officially supported by Windows 8. That means at least another 10 years of support. There is only a few programming languages like this... i.e. "C". Visual Basic 6, Ruby and Getting Off My Lawn - Scott Hanselman


"Visual Basic 6 first shipped in 1998, so its apps will have at least 24 years of supported lifetime. Contrast that with the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 (2002), which is incompatible with Windows 7 (2009).
