memcached client API for Microsoft .NET Framework

[Diego Caravana]

Hi Brad,

   I agree with you on the fact that J# runs directly on CLR so you have 
full speed, and this can be a viable option except for the fact that J# 
library compatibility is with Java 1.1.4, so you don't have many things 
(like Collections) and, in any case, there's at least a mapping layer 
between J# libraries and .Net libraries.
Apart from that, my port suffers from only one potential problem (to my 
knowloedge): Socket class lacks isConnected() method (it has been 
simulated.)

If you are interested in my port, yes, I have some space on the 
Internet. The address is at my [italian] blog:

And the response to your last question is: yes and no ;) , it depends on 
which system memcached will perform better. Personally, I would choose 
Linux, but my customer imposes a constraint on using only Microsoft 
products... but if I can demonstrate that the infrastructure performs 
better if the "cache" runs on Linux, well, maybe I'll obtain it.
Anyway, you can tell me for sure which is the fastest platform to run 
memcached on.

Thanks
Diego
