designing Business Objects. What a business object class can contain ?
I have looked many sample codes and articles. Some only use properties in them. Some use private members, properties and constructoers. As more I am reading becoming more confuse.
Some sample codes that I checked were making functions in BO classes as well. what a BO class should contain and what is its purpose. Should there be functions in them as well ? If yes how they can be differentiated from Business Logic class functions.
We are using below class(TypeInterceptor) in one of our project to create the instance of business objects.
To Create any business object, we are using the below code
++++++++++
BLayer.TestBO objTestBO;
this.objTestBO = TypeInterceptor.CreateObject<BLayer.TestBO>();
+++++++++++
I think using this kind of creational pattern makes the application not scalable as the same instance will be shared among all the concurrent users.Is it correct?
Is there any better way to abstract the creation and maintaining instance of business objects

I am looking to build a web application for users to login and do various things on my website such as depositing money, withdrawal money, creating things that require money etc. I've heard MVC3 Linq and Entity Framework is a good way to build a asp.net c# web application, but I am confused because there are so many ways to build a web application,what is the most standard way to build a website, and what are the benefits of mvc3?

View 11 RepliesI'm working on a project in which we have a database, data layer (entity framework), business layer and web/UI layer.I want to use ASP.NET Dynamic Data for the web layer, but don't want it to access the data layer or database, as I want it to be purely running off business logic, and not directly accessing the data.However, it appears that Dynamic Data only allows Linq-to-SQL or entity framework data sources to be used.Has anyone used it with business-layer objects instead?
View 1 Repliesi 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.
firstly a static class only ever exists once and is not an instance. Any static members (ie static int NoOfPeople;) is stored in one place and is shared between all sessions (like the old global variables).
Now static methods is where i'm not 100% sure. If I have a static method that doesn't use any other static members could this cause inconstant results, example (this is a fairly pointless method but just a quick example of the top of my head)
[Code]....
So in this example if two sessions (or threads) were to call this at the same time - would they both get back the expected results, because the method only uses private data (a, b and totalToReturn).Im sure this sounds a little simple but I will be using static methods to build user objects and various other objects that there will have to be a 100% garentee that the objects will not get mixed up between sessions and the wrong things return to the user.
Unit Testing for Business Object
View 2 RepliesI'm currently writing an N-Tier architected ASP.NET system with a relatively normalised SQL database backend, but I'm struggling to get my head around how lookup values should be represented in my business objects (I don't get the priviledge of using EF or ORMs). My table (as an example) could be structured like this:
CoreDataTable:
ID | Name | Favourite_Colour
---|-------|-----------------
01 | Peter | 01
02 | John | 03
03 | Mary | 05
ColoursLookup:
ID | Colour | is_active
---|--------|----------
01 | Red | 1
02 | Green | 1
03 | Blue | 1
04 | Pink | 1
05 | Black | 1
Now initially, I had created my business object to look like this:
[code]....
I'm 100% convinced that I'm (a) overthinking this, and (b) making it more complicated than it needs to be. So, is there a preferred way of doing this? Or is there an option that I've overlooked?
As I began writing web applications with asp.net I started with small projects that used a Linq-To-SQL mapper for database access to a MSSQL Server. After gaining some expierence I switched into a classic 3 tier with Graphic Layer, Business Layer, Data Layer. The only function of the Data Layer was to provide methods insert/update/delete without any logic and logic the form of selection methods.
Over the time I realized that it would be better not to provide the database classes up to the GUI (took some time unfortunately). I switched into using Business classes in the BL that are used for all operations performed by the BL and display by the GUI in the form of getting List from the BL. A great advantage is that I can provide additional properties that are not represented by the database itself. However, I did that mapping inside the BL myself with methods that mapped the corresponding BL class to the database class.
I guess thats where O/R mapper come in handy? Until now I haven't realized their purpose, but I think I just found it. I've recently tried out using the new Entity Framework with .net framework 4, but I'm only using it like the Linq-To-SQL DataContext.
Is there a way to achieve the mapping automatically? If yes, is that something the new Entity Framework provides or do I need to look for a O/R Mapper like NHibernate?
I have two business objects mapped via LINQ to tables. One of the objects contains an instance of the other object and share a key as an identifier.I want to retrieve Class A and within class A all of Class B's values as well. What I am doing is this:
[Code]....
[Code]....
This seems a little clunky, as in slow. Is there a better way to get the Class B (User) information without making a query every time?
If I do thisPublic PageDetail As CoreBO.GetStartUpDetails = PageCoreBLL.InitialSetup(DomainName)
[Code]....
Where GetStartUpDetails is a structure in the Business Objects Layer In my page subs is their a performance differance between writing

Dim test as pagedetails.structure1
response.write (test)
end sub
or just response.write (pagedetails.structure1)
UI markup to create the table shown below, which I have mocked up quickly to visualise what I need to do. The data is in the form of custom objects; a SelectedSession object which has a List (Of Students) sorted by AcademicYear, TeachingSet, then name.
So the question is how do I create that table from my custom object?

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 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 1 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?
I do not know how to create a business object for inserting data into the database.

I have the following scenario,There is a master business object containing 40 fields2 separate child business objectsIf I update a child record, I have to update master's 'Last modify by' status along with 3 or more fields in masterFor this purpose, I don't want to initialize a separate Master class object (as most of the fields are unused/wasted)The 'last modify by' also gets updated if the records in master get updated themselvesCurrently I have separate business objects for master table, Child 1, Child 2 etc.
How do I control this in my business object design ? Do I break up my master object ? Say I extract last 'modify by ' into a new class, through inheritance or some other way ?Is there a way that whenever child gets updated I use a 'small' class to update Master status only and whenever the master itself gets updated I do the same.Problem is that I am having redundancy in my small class (Master class also contains 'Last Modify By ',

View 2 RepliesI've inherited an asp.net web solution, which has business logic and data calls as seperate assemblies. In the business layer there are a small number of calls to get/set HttpContext session values. I've looked around for an example that will allow me to abstract this away from the business logic as I'd like to be able to reuse these assemblies in non-web projects, could anyone please give me an example of the best way to do this. I was thinking of some sort of session factory that will obtain values from some sort of persistant store depending on the usage scenario but I'm new to architecture really and would appreciate a pointer or two.
