Malcolm,

 

The article you referenced in the first post is probably the best thing out
there.  I haven't seen anything specific to .net on ts, so general .net
stuff from Microsoft is probably as good as you can find also.

 

In general, .net apps should require more memory on a TS, not less.  This is
especially true with the 1.0 and 1.1 frameworks, however Microsoft is
improving the sharing in the new 2.0 framework.  Initial look at using 2.0
indicates an improvement over the old, but the apps will (usually) reguire
more memory than an equivalent "unmanaged" app.  Garbage collection is also
an issue (again improved in 2.0), as it is with java.

 

One may still want to develop in .net, however, due to reduced development
time and/or access to new functionality.  Care should be taken in design to
remember scalability. Well designed .net apps on a  terminal server must
consider offloading some functionality to other servers (after all, that is
what all that flexibility is about) by implementing web services on other
machines.

Anyone got a good guide on .net applications on TS.

 

Looking for mainly scalability stuff.

 

I know the answer is to test and test again but looking for something that
explains .net and how well it scales.

 

Such as, my understanding is that with .net it will load a single DLL for
all users if required rather than loading that DLL 30 times for instance.
