In my opinion, these architectures have some differences, such as:
1. 3-layer is a linear architecture, but MVC is a triangle architecture.
2. Presentation Layer of 3-layer includes View and Controller of MVC? And Model of MVC includes Business Layer and Data Access Layer of 3-layer
I think 2 differences above are not obvious or are incorrect!
I am new to this .NET what is the difference between N-Tier and 3- Tier Architecture. If they are same. How to pass the values from presentation layer to business logic layer.
For Example
I have 10 controls in presentation layer. I passing values to these controls. How the architecture works.
I am building a web site following the tutorials on asp.net. I am using dataset as data access lay, and writing classes to access the dataset. But the example is just basic ideas, how do I retrieve individual table column value in the business layer?For example, if I have a table called Product, I only want to find out what is the product name by product id. I did this in my ProductBLL:
public ProductBLL
{
public int GetProductName(string productId)
{
ProductDataSet.ProductDataTable prodData = Adapter.GetProductById(productId);
[code]...
Is there a better way, or am I doing this correctly? Can anybody give me a reference to a more complicated business logic model?

View 3 RepliesI have been learning C# for the last year or so and trying to incorporate best practices along the way. Between StackOverflow and other web resources, I thought I was on the right track to properly separating my concerns, but now I am having some doubts and want to make sure I am going down the right path before I convert my entire website over to this new architecture.
The current website is old ASP VBscript and has a existing database that is pretty ugly (no foreign keys and such) so at least for the first version in .NET I do not want to use and have to learn any ORM tools at this time.
I have the following items that are in separate namespaces and setup so that the UI layer can only see the DTOs and Business layers, and the Data layer can only be seen from the Business layer. Here is a simple example:
[Code]....
Am I completely off base? Should I also have the same properties in my BLL and not pass back DTOs to my UI? what is wrong and what is right. Keep in mind I am not a expert yet.
I would like to implement interfaces to my architecture, but I am still learning how to do that.
I am implementing 3-tier architecture. I just wanted to know the role of business layer in 3-tier architecture.
I am developing application in using entity framework. So I have entity object which is accessiable in PL,BL & DL. My question is whether input assignment to entity object should be in PL OR BL.(Consider there is save method)
i build online course selection for a university now i want to make it layering and i dont know to make it 2 layer or 3 layer i mean mix business layer and database layer because i use linq so it is not require to check request data that in sql from client in business layer because linq check it autimatically to preent injection and etc.is it right?can i put my class and DB class in same place or layer?if i make it 2 layer the performance becom better?

View 4 RepliesI am creating an ASP.NET MVC application and want to display an icon in the view based on a value of a property in the model. I guess I want to have the logic deciding which image to show in the business layer (which is in a separate class library project) but the actual images files in the web application's "Content" folder. Should I set the url of the image in the business layer? I don't want the business layer to know that is serves a web application, it can be a Windows Form or WPF application as well. If I set the url with System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath it feels like I am getting an unwanted dependency on System.Web, right? What are the options here?

View 2 RepliesI am working on implementing a web application in ASP.Net by following the MVC design pattern (Not ASP.Net MVC). As part of the design, we have entity objects that has only properties as per the corresponding table structure and the idea is using these entity objects in the view layer and the same entity objects are passed to Persistence Layer for saving the data to the database. Business Objects in the business layer are responsible for interacting with the database.
As view creates the entity objects and passes to next layer, what would be the best practice to pass the entity objects to the business layer? Should the business objects accept data objects as parameters and interact with the persistence layer? Is there any other best practice to pass the required objects from the view layer to the next layer? As business objects also need to access the properties of the entity objects passed from the view layer, do we need any "translation" from entity objects to business objects?
the best practices to pass entity objects from view layer to the next layer and also how the entity objects created by the persistence layer can be used by business objects?
So my asp.net is very very rusty, and i'm trying to get back into best practices and what not. So, I whip out google and start looking for examples and samples and tutorials, but what do I find? Old crusty stuff that tends to be written even before "the latest" technology was released back in the stone age.Sure, the concepts may still hold up. But the actual implementations are basically useless. I'm looking for something using Linq, n-layers (not tiers. Tiers can be a layer, but a layer is not necessarily a tier) some kind of current ORM (L2S, EF, etc..) and some real-world stuff, not abitrary and useless examples.

View 1 RepliesI am developing a web application, which has Data Access Layer and this layer has only one class, in which all methods are static methods like static Insert, static Update, static Search. It has no properties. I am using these methods in my Bussiness Logic class for my users who are visiting my website.Now my question is : 1. Is it right to use static methods in this scenario ?2. What will happen if 10 users call Insert method at the same time ?

Just wondering, in an ASP.NET MVC3 environnement with entity framework. Should the Unit of Work point to the service layer or the repository (and then the repository point to the service layer) ?
Ive saw two example:
* One where the unit of work and repository both have an instance to the service layer..
Link: Entity Framework 4 CTP 4 / CTP 5 Generic Repository Pattern and Unit Testable
Doesn't use a service layer but its obvious that one could be use in that case.
* Second where the unit of work have an instance to the repository which have an instance to the service layer..

View 4 RepliesI creating 3 tier arch wpp in VS 2010. I added the BusinessAccessLayer refernce in Presentation Layer. and I created DataAccessLayer[DAL] and ORM [DBModel.DBML]. when i try to create the instance for the Table in presenation layer[default.aspx], The Table name is not shown.After adding the DataAccessLayer refernce in the presentation layer, the table name[MM_User] instance are shown.Is it the right method [Adding the DAL refernce in Presenation Layer]? If not, whats the solution for for accessing the instance of the tables[MM_User].Is it related to the Creating the DataContextWrapper class in DAL?
View 5 RepliesWe are using a tierd design with a Data Access Layer and classes for everything we need. This serves as an advantage because we do not have to write querys over and we can separate the Presentation layer from the Data Access Layer and Business Rules.I have always in the past populated GridViews, DataLists, repeaters,etc with SqlDataSources. This is what I have become accustomed to and I feel like it is simple. For querys such as Select * from Members, I feel like using a DataSource is simpler than having to go in the code and calling methods to populate and DataBind these presentation controls.
I am working with a gentleman who has introduced me to the world of Data Access Layers and we are breaking everything down into simeple, but effective queries to populate controls and do what we need to accomplish with this application. He is not very approving of using any type of DataSource. We are disagreeing on the time and place to use these class methods to call the database.So my question is, which is more widely used in the programming world? Do most people use DataSources to populate presentation controls regardless of the Data Access Layer they are working with? Which type of queries are best suited for a DAL - simple, populating queries or complicated joins and upserts?
