I'm currently looking into a project where specific users can create web forms on the fly and save them as templates whcih are data bound.I know InfoPath has this ability; but you need SharePoint unfortunately we do not have this. I have looked into XForms, but found nothing helpful within the .net arena.Has anyone done something similar or know of a product within the .net arena which could be used.

I want to start creating sites with simple backends! I don't know much about databases though and I don't want to jump straight into creating sites with databases anyway. So I want to find out what the best way of creating a simple backend without using a database is.
I have an asp.net webpage which is a prices page detailing the prices of services at a hair salon. The prices change every 6 months so I want to give the client a simple backend so he can update the prices himself. The backend will just be a table of inputs populated with the current prices which can be changed and then click 'save changes' to update the site.
Now what is the best way of implementing this?
A) In the prices page, hard code an html table, within each cell code a <span> tag with an id for the price that will go within the span tag like id="menscut" and within the span tag hard code the price of the service. Then wirte a C# class called 'edit' that is used when the 'save changes' button is clicked on the backend page. When 'save changes' is clicked the 'edit' class parses the prices.aspx page and finds <span id="menscut">£20</span> and then changes it to <span id="menscut">£22</span> (or what ever new price has been entered in the backend) and then saves the new edited prices.aspx page over the old one on the server.
or
B) Don't hard code prices into the prices.aspx but instead store the prices in a seperate .txt or .xml file. Every time the prices.aspx page loads it runs a class called 'populate' which extracts the prices from the .txt file or .xml file and inserts them into the table in the prices.aspx page. And now the edit class instead of editing the prices.aspx page it edits the .txt or .xml file.
So which of those ways is better, or if they are fairly even pegged what are the pros and cons of each?
Or are there any other options I haven't thought of?
i have the following code:

I was trying to implement as above. How can i call this class from the code behind of my page, and call the methods Open and Close connection ?
How do i instantiate the object ?
I am in the process of creating an audit trail system. Simple enough. Certain fields require audit trail. What is the best design concept to allow this to work in multiple applications without having to change much? I would of course leave it to the admin of the site to add what fields should be audited, but the logic is the problem. Would implementing the interface IComparable be a place to start? My initial thinking is to compare 2 arrays against eachother and do an insert of what fields are in question. Array1 are the fields in the form, array2 are the fields from the sql table that require auditing.

View 1 RepliesI've created 2 multi dimensional arrays (2 dimensions each), I want to feed them both into a function, and I would like the function to spit out an array or list containing both of them as arrays, so I can use them as they were before they went into the function.
The way I've done it at the moment is probably very inifficient and I'm having trouble accessing it properly.
What follows is my attempt to put the 2 arrays (attackerarmy and defenderarmy) into a new array called armyresults and adding an additional dimension to tell me if the record belongs to the attacker or defender:
[Code]....
Since I've already got the 2 arrays I want in the function, I've rather not inefficiently force them into a new array, only to try to re build them again when they come out of the function.
how to out 2 arrays of unknown size into an array of arrays for the return statement of my function, and then how I can access those individual arrays so I can easily copy them back out into their original form?
I am trying to create a comments page for users to review and comment on an article. I have 2 buttons on each comments posted by users; "Like" and "Don't Like". I am stuck with how to track which user voted already for a given comment. I am thinking of two options and would like to know if they are they way to go or is there a better solution.
Option 1: I have created a table in my database with stores, the comment id, the userid of the user who rated it and the value "like" or "don't like". So each time I have to query my table to find out if this user indeed vote for a given comment. The table unfortunately grows exponentially!!
Option 2: I store the commentid, userid, and "like" or "don't like" value in a cookie on the client's machine. I read the cookie and find out if the user has already voted on a comment. This is proving to be VERY quirky with cookie expiration, growing cookie size and also multiple users on the same machine.
In either way, my test case of ~1500 users, and 2 Million comments, this is getting to be HEAVY on both methods. Is there anything better?
I am looking details on the internal working of asp.net architecture. The topics need to include the following:
Asp.Net Thread/Application Pools HttpRuntime HttpApplication - When and how it is set up How HttpContext is set up How objects can passed along the pipeline using HttpContext.Current.Items Why does modification of static variables requires locks in ASP.NET (advanced)IIS 7 Integration Mode
i want to create a centralised business or Service authendication architecture in .net. for example, we have a clients like c1, c2, c3, c4, ... etc. everybody logins seperatly as well as grouply. ie, if client "C1" logins [with login authentication] he can access c2 , c3, c4 also without login authendication. So its like a google. if we enters gmail account, we can access orkut, picasa like that.. i need the cetralised architecture.
And, client "c1" seperately asks seperately how will be the authendication architecture.
so give me the single solution for both these two scenarios. how will be the architecture for these two and how is the Data Base (Login) Structure.
recently i've studied on ADO.NET's Entity Model Framework and say 'wow' as ORM is one of the fevourite pattern i practice..but suddenly i've come to an ambiguous situation when i'm going to start. i usually follow the following 3-tier architecture..
1. UI Layer
2. BLL - business logic layer
3. DAL - Data Access Layer
a. DTO / DAO
b. Gateway (contains the sql query/stored procedure and connection with DB)
now when i'm going to use the Entity Model Design,where the DBML/ .edmx File should be placed? Because many a times i'm using the DBML file as DTO because of the mapped objects.. in the same time, sometimes DBML ( .edmx file in .NET 4.0) contains CRUD methods and stored procedured method as well as methods with different selection operations,- which should be in Gateway. so where the .edmx file should be placed !?!! IN DTO namespace !? or in Gateway namespace!
moreover sometimes there is no need for the BLL which breaks the rules of inter-layer-communication (UI > BLL > DAL.Gateway)! what makes me confuse is, what should be the ideal n-tier architecture when i'll use the ADO.NET Entity Model Design Framework
I am working on 3 tier architecture: UI, BL, DAL. In my UI i have following code for Asynchronous page processing:
[Code]....
But I want a database fetch operation to be performed in this asyncronous method. And due to 3 tier arch. i am unable to do this in UI Layer. Can anyone guide me that how can I implement Asynchronous processing in 3 tier architecture? Note: If you are going to place EndAsyncWork1 in DAL then show that how can I return a value back to UI layer from this function.

I want to know that What are the factors if we use methods on each .cs page for connection and executing query on each aspx code behind page rather then using BAL .
How our application get affected in terms of performance and speed or other way?
when we put our website on server after publish/compile in general approach (using query in C# code behind) rathor than using stored procedures?
then which logic is better and why ?
I have implemented the 3-tier architecture project; DAL, BAL, and presentation layer are three layers in it. I am going to implement the following scenario:
Presentation layer calls to a function in the BAL layer which returns 2 string variable, and in turn this function from BAL layer calls to a DAL layer function which also returns 2 string variable. How can I implement the above scenario?
I'm developing a n-tier architecture... I'm confused with handling exception in the layers... Is it a good practise to add a Exception Layer to the architecture.
View 3 RepliesI am a newbie to asp.net and work in a firm where the projects are quite small.
I was told by my manager that in a few weeks or so we would be getting a bigger project and I need to be well versed with Design Patterns and N tier arcihtecture.
I would really appreciate if someone could provide me some links and also drop me a few sentences on how this things are useful?
I am going to create the SAAS (Software as a service) Application. Can you please provide all the attributes that we have to consider in SAAS application (for example usability, pluggable architecture etc .. )
How architecture should be build for this project, provide sample architecture for SAAS application. This architecture should be easy to upload and upgrade or degrade the features. Error handling should be easy.
I am try to create architecture design for WCF service.
We have WCF service that we have to expose to third party so then can request with xml and get back xml response.
The wcf service should do the following:
- Accept the request call with xml
- Check xml against the schema
- Parse the xml
- Authenticate the incoming xml by username and password that will be in xml
- Send back the response
If anybody can let me know what kind of design I can use or is there any pattern available that I can take it and then extend it as per my requirement.

View 2 RepliesI was tasked to create 3 tier web application. However, i browsed through many books & tutorials. The examples are doing it using Object data source which my lecturers claimed that it is not 3 tier at all. Shouldn't be dragging any data source into deisgn view. Any comprehensive examples for me to take reference from?
View 4 Repliesi want to develop an application in asp.net using 3 tier architecture .
i know that there are three layers
Data layerBusiness Layer
Data Access LayerBusiness Logic Layer Presentation Layer. I am confused between Data Access Layer and Business Logic Layer.
In data access layer we develop the property classes and main class function which returns datasets, datatables and data reader to Presentation layer.
what is the use of Business Logic Layer ? what actually we do in Business logic Layer
?? we can pass data directly from data access layer to presentation layer ?
