I recently experienced a problem like this. I had a proxy server running as a Windows Service that receives requests from multiple users on a machine and from other machines. I couldn't solve the problem of writing log files from multiple threads even with using mutexes or using the Synchronized TextWriters.I ended up writing a Queue that a write job would get added to and then the queue would iterate over it's jobs and write the logs every so often.

Well said. Makes you wish Gore had won in the recount. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_election_recount

PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

It doesn't stand out well on the website. The suggestion to make it more promonent has been made to the site owners but as of yet they have not made any changes.

ASP.Net and PHP are very different.ASP.Net is...1) mainly a framework and runtime that compiles to a common language (CLR)2) a compiled (optional) language3) statically typed (by default unless you use something like F#)4) allows you to use the language you prefer like C#, VB, IronPython, IronRuby, F#, etc5) completely object oriented6) Windows and IIS only (unless you use the Mono Project [open source port of .Net by Novell] but it has limitations and some issues)7) hosting is generally more expensivePHP is...1) an interpretted language2) dynamically typed3) traditionally a procedural language but PHP5 gave it a huge boost when it comes to OO4) open source5) platform independant6) hosting is generally cheaper and easier to find

Welcome to the forums. Just as a suggestion, forget about ASP...it is no longer supported by Microsoft and development stopped around 2000. IMO it is not worth your time as it really has no future except if you need to support legacy code.

I think it is a misconception that Python is faster than PHP. Python has been optimized for mathematical algorithms so in that respect it will blow PHP out of the water but if you compare which language can server more web pages in a period of time you find that PHP is noticeably faster.

My opinion is that it's not as hard as C++ and not as easy as PHP. I have been reading the Python documentation lately and it has some nice syntax. Python is a functional programming language. Lambdas are a good example of the syntax sugar that Pytho has. Django is a nice MVC framework for Python and IMO is a better choice than RoR.

Unless you really have your heart set on ASP it is probably a waste of time as it is dying out. There are very few companies/websites using ASP and the some of the ones that do (that I have noticed) are slowly transitioning to ASP.Net.

There is no BEST language to use. You need to evaluate what is best for you based on current knowledge, hosting limitations, possible customer requirements, and the application itself.PHP is extremely popular. I use both PHP and ASP.Net. Both langages are about as far apart as you can get. There are many things I like and dislike about both. PHP is probably one of the easiest languages to get started with as just about very host supports it (including alot of free hosts).CF is not used a lot but there are still many that love it, just ask Skemcin if you are interested in knowing more about CF.I only suggested ASP.Net because you mentioned you wanted to learn ASP.

Welcome to the forums. I would recommend ASP.Net, ASP is no longer support by Microsoft. You can get some great info and video tutorials here http://www.asp.net/. Good luck.

I heard that MS will be forcing IE7 in another automatic update. Although there is an opt-out and some don't have updates turned on this should help get rid of some more IE6. I can't wait for IE6 to be gone forever!

yes as long as you have IIS setup with ASP enabled. If you need further discussion on this please start a new thread in the ASP forum.
