View 14 RepliesI am in the process of redesigning our main product, a knowledge database system for clients to access clinical and specialist advice articles. There is a requirement to add "Social Networking" to this allowing users to connect and post remarks etc...
This is somewhat similar to the Facebook wall scenario - where Articles, Photos, Groups, Products, Events, ActivityFeed can all have comments. I am at a lose as to the database design I would need to implement this. All comments must allow for Moderation/Approval/Spam Reporting etc...
I originally thought a individual table for each Comments entity ex: ArticleComment, ProductComment would work as the comments themselves are not all directly related. Each table having the same exact columns. But this makes life abit awkward as then this creates a separation between something that for all purposes is the same i.e. They are all comments.
The other design idea was to have a single Comment table with an "arc" type relationship to related tables with FK references back to the source.
The other option was to have a single Comment table with an Object Type and XID but this breaks the rules of relation and does not all for referential integrity.
I am at a lose and don't know what to do. I have asked over at SQLCentral.com and all I have done is raised more questions than answers about what to do.
Design 1: This would require exact copies of this table for all the entities.
-- Photo Comments --
CREATE TABLE dbo.PhotoComment
(
CommentID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
PhotoID int NOT NULL,
Body ntext NOT NULL,
ReportedAsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_ReportedAsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_IsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsApproved bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_IsApproved] DEFAULT (1),
CreatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
CreatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
UpdatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
UpdatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
IsDeleted bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_IsDeleted] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_PhotoComment] PRIMARY KEY (CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_PhotoComment_PhotoID] FOREIGN KEY (PhotoID) REFERENCES dbo.Photo(PhotoID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_PhotoComment_CreatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (CreatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [FK_PhotoComment_UpdatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (UpdatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId)
)
Design 2: The "Arc" relationship
CREATE TABLE dbo.Comment
(
CommentID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
CommentType char(1) NOT NULL CHECK(CommentType IN ('A','I','E','G','U','P')),
Body ntext NOT NULL,
ReportedAsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_ReportedAsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsApproved bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsApproved] DEFAULT (1),
CreatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
CreatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
UpdatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
UpdatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
IsDeleted bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsDeleted] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Comment] PRIMARY KEY (CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_CreatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (CreatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_UpdatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (UpdatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [UC_Comment_CommentID_CommentType] UNIQUE (CommentID, CommentType)
)
-- Article Comments --
CREATE TABLE dbo.ArticleComment
(
ArticleID int NOT NULL,
CommentID int NOT NULL,
CommentType char(1) CONSTRAINT [DF_ArticleComment_CommentType] DEFAULT 'A', CHECK (CommentType = 'A'),
CONSTRAINT [PK_ArticleComment] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ArticleID, CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_ArticleComment_ArticleID] FOREIGN KEY (ArticleID) REFERENCES dbo.Article(ArticleID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_ArticleComment_CommentID] FOREIGN KEY (CommentID) REFERENCES dbo.Comment(CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_ArticleComment_CommentID_CommentType] FOREIGN KEY (CommentID, CommentType) REFERENCES dbo.Comment(CommentID, CommentType)
)
Design 3: The one that breaks the rules
CREATE TABLE dbo.Comment
(
CommentID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
ObjectType char(1) NOT NULL, /* A = Article, P = Photo etc... */
XID int NOT NULL, /* Would be the ID of the main entity being queried. */
Body ntext NOT NULL,
ReportedAsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_ReportedAsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsApproved bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsApproved] DEFAULT (1),
CreatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
CreatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
UpdatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
UpdatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
IsDeleted bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsDeleted] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Comment] PRIMARY KEY (CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_CreatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (CreatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_UpdatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (UpdatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [UC_Comment_CommentID_ObjectType_XID] UNIQUE (CommentID, ObjectType, XID)
)
-- Ex: Get all comments for article ID 23.
SELECT * FROM Comment Where ObjectType ='A' and XID = '23'

I have a ordinary Category/Product database relationship Design structure.
Now i wish to add a sub category to this architecture.
for example, Cloths Category needs to be sub divided - Women,Men,Children categories.Also what about other Ctegories such as: Car,this also has sub divisions: Model,Type.
My Products table contains ProductName field together with generic field for Size,Colour and Price fields.
How do you therefore incorporate this sub division into the existing Category/Product relationship model and is there a model example?

How to populate or bind TreeView from one table use SQLSERVER database in ASP.NETÂ & C# table include

I have an excel sheet which has several parent records/rows and every parent row/record has several child sub-records under it. I have a field called ID which is of the type String as it contains a mixture of characters and numbers and is common for both parent and child records. How do I store the parent and child records in separate database tables, retrieve them and display them in a nested gridview?
View 1 Replies I have nested gridviews, in the outer grid I am displaying the question and in the inner grid 4 options are displayed in radiobuttons. I have kept Lock Answer button inside Item Template in inner gridview , so this button is coming with each and every question and when i click on Lock Answer button in front of any question, its saving the corresponding answer in the database. For ex, if there are 10 questions this button is coming with all the questions, all the questions are on single page and all are multiple choice. Now everything is working mine, my requirement is that I need on 1 common Lock Answer button at the bottom of the page and not with all the questions.

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
In my website I have two forms: parent form and child form(dialog box). Their expected behaviour is like this: if clicked on 'show' button on parent form, a dialog form opens that displays a gridview. In dialog form, if clicked on 'select' button it closes
itself and returns value in selected row back to parent form.
To achieve this I write following code (.cs) : in parent form:
void ShowBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
StringBuilder jScript = new StringBuilder(); [code]....
Now problem is: the code in parent .cs works fine, it opens the dialog properly. But when clicked on 'select', instead of returning back to parent, it opens the same dialog again in new window. This newly open window says "Done but error on page" at left bottom.
I 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 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.
I am starting a new project in ASP.NET (With silverlight) - I would like to get expert opinion about how to design the data access.I can use DataAccess Layer with SQL helper, but the challenge is every new field that I add needs to be added in the sql helper.I am trying to see if there is a way to design the system, so that it appears in the front end when a new field is added. I don't want to have in the ASPX files (binding in controls) I want to have ability to change items in code. Essentially I am trying to see the best option to have a database application.
View 1 Repliesa FormView that is linked to SqlDataSource1a Repeater control (inside the formview) that is linked to SqlDataSource2 Thus representing a simple "1 to many" or "parent/child" relationship in the database!
SqlDataSource1 is simple in that it just retrieves a straight set of records from a table and they are displayed back in the FormView (nothing special happening there).
SqlDataSource2 has parameters that filter the contents of the repeater based on the record that is shown in the Formview. This would normally be simple enough to set up by setting the parameter to the formview.selectedvalue property.
HOWEVER - THE PROBLEM ARISES...
The formview has multiple DataKeyNames because the table that the SqlDataSource1 links to has a compound key. So to filter the Repeater correctly SqlDataSource2 needs to map 3 parameters to 3 data key values in the formview.
I've tried setting the SqlDataSource2 parameters to:
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="FormView1" Name="Parameter1" PropertyName="DataKey(0)" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="FormView1" Name="Parameter2" PropertyName="DataKey(1)" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="FormView1" Name="Parameter3" PropertyName="DataKey(2)" />
</SelectParameters>
but it doesn't seem to like that approach. I'm expecting the answer is something similar .
hat is the difference between Architecture and Design patterns ?

In asp.net, I have a parent and a child control. Within the child control I have a dropdown list. Based on dropdown list's selected value I would like to toggle Visibility of Panel in parent control. For instance if I select Show in child control dropdown list, I need to pass true to parent control to make Panel visible and vice versa. How should I do that. I have read that can be done via the event handling and have seen certain scenarios but I am not clear on that.
View 3 Repliesi am working on POCO entities. i had a requirement to provide Edit feature for parent and respective Child records in single View.
Eg: Parent-Customer, Child-Order tables
when updating the parent entity by using => UpdateModel(CustomerIns);
and updating the child entity by using => TryUpdateModel(CustomerIns.Order, "Orders");
The Child Controls Names are like Orders[0].OrderID,Oders[0].OrderDate,etc
The Parent and Child Entities are updating when UpdateModel() is called but when saving Changes by calling Context.SaveChanges() i am getting exception like:
"The operation failed: The relationship could not be changed because one or more of the foreign-key properties is non-nullable. When a change is made to a relationship, the related foreign-key property is set to a null value. If the foreign-key does not support null values, a new relationship must be defined, the foreign-key property must be assigned another non-null value, or the unrelated object must be deleted."
