Architecture :: Design A Class For Product Searching?
Oct 21, 2010
I'm refactoring an old website that has product search code littered throught the codebehind. I'm trying to encapsulate the search logic into its own class so I've created a Product class with a Search() method. I would like some suggestions about OO best practices so that the class is reusable and maintainable. The questions I have are:
- Should I make the search() method an instance method or make it static? For now the class is just really there to encapsulate my search logic
- If I make it an instance method should it return a list of products or should it populate a member property that I can access like p.Search(); var x = p.ProductList;
- The search method requires upward of 7 parameters of different types, what's the best way to provide them?
- pass them all i.e. p.Search (param1, param2, ..., param7)
- create a SearchParams structure in the class, populate it and pass that i.e. p.Search(searchParams)
- Instantiate a Product object and set properties on it that are used by the Search method i.e. p.ID = 123; etc.... p.Search();
I've used variations of the above before but would like to know what's the best way.

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 have an application that allows admins to add types such as document types and training types that are in seperate tables with a foreign key in a transaction table.
When structuring my class I decided to go with an abstract-like pattern (without the factory methods though). So I have a Type abstract class that defines my Save, Delete, and GetList methods. I have a training type class that inherits this class. The thing is all types have 3 main properties - defined in the abstract base - but have different source tables and thus different store procedures in my DbCommand object. So basically I repeat setting up the same parameters on all the derived classes. I would like to implement the common stuff in the base but I am getting thrown off by the difference in data sources.

In my MVC project, I am trying to setup a base product class that will be inherited by a more specific class later. Here is my scenario. I have a table called ProductBase, it contains three fields, BaseProductId(PK), CatalogNum, and ListPrice. Every product in the system will share these attributes. Next, I have a table called Shirt, with three fields BaseProductId(PK, FK), Color, and Size.
I then setup an Entity Data Model that pulled in both of these tables and created classes BaseProduct and Shirt. So, in my model, I want to do something like this:
[Code]....
The main problem I have with this, is that if I do any kind of condition on CatalogNum or ListPrice, then my performance goes to crap. One of the main things we will want to do is something like this:
[Code]....
This takes an enormous performance hit, and I suspect it is because the partial class above returns to the database for each shirt.
The other problem I have with this approach, is that I cannot force the properties for the Shirt. What if I make a change to the BaseProduct? What happens when I have multiple product types, will I have to repeat this code? I assume I will need to make a change with the entity data model, but I am unsure where to begin.

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 would like a site that offers the users the possibility to search over 2 datasources but as i tried to indicate in the subject title the searches are one after another where the result of search 1 is used as a parameter for searching the second datasource. The order of the search would depend for what you search (ideally). Some "fields" or "data" of course appear in both datasources.
To get more specific: datasource 1 contains chemical structures and the associated "id" for this structure + additonal properties. You can search for chemical structures here. (chemically intelligent system). datasource 2 contains documents which are indexed (full text) and have metadata fields one of them beeing above id. No chemical search possible.
The idea is now that i perform a search by chemical structure on datasource 1. As as a result I get a list of id's. These id's are then past into datasource 2 as parameter + also all additionaly parameters entered. There are API's available to perform above searches on the 2 datasources. Is this a reasonable approach? Would it be better to create somekind of a simple datawarehouse, eg a table with all numbers linked to all documents they appear in? (would't know how to achievie this actually since it's the 2 datasoruces are not the same rdbms).

I am wondering if there are any good articles you could point me to that would present the implementation details or options for delivering advanced search capabilities. Like what we see at [url] and similar Web sites offering vast numbers of products to be searched. The search process for these starts with a simple "Search" text box - usually with auto-suggest. Then the user can drill down and narrow the search by [for example] price, manufacture, size, capacity, and other relevant attributes of the product being searched.
When I navigate such sites and search for products, drilling down into the various categories, it's easy to think that there is some complex engine behind the scenes that generates dynamic SQL to satisfy the various and potentially extensive criterion required to satisfy the search requests.
Or could it be simpler than that? In any case, I understand this question may not have a specific answer; so I'm hoping for some article or reference implementation I could study. Short of that, if any of you have implemented advanced search of a product catalog (presumably searching products stored in a reasonably normalized database; through 3NF or so); any critical implementation considerations would be appreciated. I'm particularly interested in the meta data that may have to be present in the underlying data set in order to satisfy some of the search requests.

i m developing a product Catalog. All fine, i want to manage wish list for product, which user wish to see, now my question is that how can i manage this wish list, coz i have no uniqueness of the user, coz ny one whether it is registerd or not can wish the product in my scope, i thought to distinguish the user by their IP address becoz this wish list is temporaray, how can i delete the record when user close the browser if go to the IP address for distinguish..

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.

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.

All the users of my system get a common Id (SystemUserId). There are predefined roles/groups in the system. One user can be belong one or more of these groups. We are populating the menu/dashboard at runtime according to logging credentials.All common details (properties) of group are stored in main table (SystemUser) and specialized details are stored in relavant tables.(Teacher/Student). My solution already has classes called, SystemUser, Teacher & Student.
Problem:My system should support new group addition. (eg-: Auditor)This should support new properties to be added to SystemUser/Teacher/Student or any other new group added by the Customer at runtime.

suggest me a good design pattern for implmenting the following? I have an object say myObject. This myObject is created using few inputs from the UI. After the creation of myObject. This object will be passed to few methods.. like method1(myObject);
method2(myObject);... method5(myObject);etc. Each methods will prepare the input for successive methods call. For example method1(myObject) will set the values necessary for the operation of method2.Then method2(myObject) will set up the values necessary for the operation of method3 and so on..Same object is used as the argument for every method calls.Which design pattern can be implemented?

I am thinking to use entity model as DAL, how should I create the BLL then? What kind of datasourceobject should I use in the asp pages?
I am looking for best practice to use Entity framework 2 in the three layers design. I had experience at dataset with three layers design.
Should I use objectdatasource at the pages for gridviews? My guess is that entitydatasource by passed the BLL which is not good, so the only option left is the objectdatasource.
Could and should my BL object inherit those entity model in the DAL, so I dont need to recreate their object's property?

I want to know what is the advantages of using aggregates in c# for design patterns.
suppose i have tree tables
Member(M_Id,M_Info)
Bid(B_Id,B_Info,M_Id,Item_Id)
Item(Item_Id,Item_Info)
"One member can place more than one bid on more than one item."
so there is one to many bidirectional association between Bid and Member table.
And one to many association between bid and item table Now According to defination of aggregates in this case Item table is the root of aggregate item and item has aggregation with bid table.
and bid table holds unidirectional reference to member table and hence only bid table has access over member table.
But ultimately this will also map in database same as without using aggregate then what is use of aggregates?

I visited this Link to study about Factory design pattern.http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/310/factory/ But i am confused about it still. What i understood is that we must use an Interface to define a class .In the interface we will give the prototype of functions and later on we will define it in concrete class. Is that simple concept is Factory design pattern ?

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?
