As noted in various Service Broker sources, it is often advantageous to minimize the overhead of creating dialogs to send messages on. This blog shows how to create a shared pool of dialogs to be able to reuse dialogs instead of creating new ones. The dialog pool is a variation of Remus Rusanu's reusing and recycling conversations as shown in his blog. One of the main differences is that the dialog pool is keyed only on services and contract, not SPID. This allows the same SPID to obtain multiple dialogs from the pool should the need arise. As importantly, different SPIDs can reuse the same dialog sequentially instead of creating two of them. Measurements show equivalent performance using the dialog pool compared to the SPID-based reuse scheme. 

The following code shows how to get, free and delete dialogs from a dialog pool table. Initially empty, a new dialog is created in the pool when a request for an existing free dialog cannot be met. Thus the pool will grow during bursts of high demand.

When I switched over the C# compiler team, I had hoped that I would be able to give some insight into how the design team works, what decisions we make, etc. Language design is a very esoteric field, and there's not a lot written about it (though “Design and evolution of C++“ is a pretty good read). I had hoped that I would be able to do this with concrete examples, as that makes it much easier.

I've been watching for candidate topics to write about, but haven't yet come up with any good ones. One of the problems is that features have a tendency to morph in design (and in whether they'll make it into Whidbey) as time goes by, and it would be bad for me to say, “we're talking about doing“ and then have us decide it wasn't a good idea. Or, for us to decide that doesn't fit into our schedule, or it would break existing code, or any of the other reasons that might cause us to pull a feature. We're generally not comfortable re
