Architecture :: N-tier, Configuration Info, Specifically Connection Strings?
Sep 29, 2010
I have an ASP.NET project which is pretty n-tier, by namespace, but I need to separate into three projects: Data Layer, Middle Tier and Front End.I am doing this because...
A) It seems the right thing to do, and
B) I am having all sorts of problems running unit tests for ASP.NET hosted assemblies.
Anyway, my question is, where do you keep your config info?Right now, for example, my middle tier classes (which uses Linq to SQL) automatically pull their connection string information from the web.config when instantiating a new data context.If my data layer is in another project can/should it be using the web.config for configuration info?If so, how will a unit test, (typically in a separate assembly) provide soch configuration info?

On most of my asp.net web application I have at least 4 computers that I am constantly moving my application around to. My development PC at work, at home, a test web server for others to test then finally the production server. In all cases I am using a MS-SQL database that would be on a minimum of 3 (usually 4) different sql servers. I am constantly changing the connection string(s) in the web.config file. Now I have just learned about Entity Frameworks which apparently requires its own connection string.
As far as I know the only references to the connection string(s) would be the web.config settings for the asp.net membership and role provider settings and now the entity framework object. So I was hoping I could do some coding in the Global.asax unit under some function and "detect" which server I am running on maybe by its name or something that would be both constant and unique on all machines. Then programmatically configure the membership provoders and entity framework object to use the correct connection string.

I have just deployed my entire website onto my hosting provider. My databases worked fine whilst I was testing the website on the local host. They use Plesk Control Panel. Here is my connection string:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True (nothing is omited from this string)
Why isn't this working when the website is online? I get the error Invalid value for key 'attachdbfilename'. I have retargeted my website for .net 2.0 at the providers request because they do not support .net 4.

I have seen the examples on how to switch between connections strings for development and production enviroments. My web.config also calls out a connection string for <roleManager and membership><providers>. Can this be setup to switch between the two connection strings?

I would like to use both of the connection strings in the same web.config file how can I do this I tried this yesterday it worked I called it a night, then this morning I got this. The error being on line: 10 Parser Error Message: The entry 'ApplicationServices' has already been added.
Line 8: <add name="ApplicationServices"
Line 9: connectionString="Data Source=Mysource;Initial Catalog=travelatlantic;User ID=MyID; Password=MyPassword;" />
Line 10: <add name="ApplicationServices"
Line 11: connectionString="Data Source=MySource;Initial Catalog=travelatlantic2;User ID=Myid; Password=MyPassword;" />

I'm building the standard 3-tier ASP.NET web application but I'm struggling as to where to do certain things - specifically handling exceptions.
I've tried to have a look around on the web for some examples but can't find any which go as far as a whole project showing how everything links together.
In my data-tier I'm connecting to SQL Server and doing some stuff. I know I need to catch exceptions that could be raised as a result but I'm not sure where to do it.
From what I've read I should be doing it in the UI tier but in that case I'm not sure how to ensure that the connection to the database is closed. Is anyone able to clarify how to do this? Also if anyone knows as to where I could find an example 3-tier web application that follows best practices that would be great too.

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.
[Code]....

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 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 trying to use a 3-tier architecture (UI, BAL & DAL) for my project. I have each of the tier in different physical machines.
UI - Machine 1
BAL - Machine 2
DAL - Machine 3
How can DAL & BAL interact? What would be the best way to call one component from another?

I 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?

i 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 ?

i am in the process of creating 3 tier architecture for ASP.net with Microsoft Studio 2005.
My architerture is as below
Presentation Layer Business Logic Layer Data Access Layer
-------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------------
Form1 BLTable1 DaTable1
(NameSpace = MyCompany.MyProject.BL. BLTable1) (NameSpace = MyCompany.MyProject.DA. DaTable1)
Form2 BLTable2 DaTable2
(NameSpace = MyCompany.MyProject.BL. BLTable2) (NameSpace =
MyCompany.MyProject.DA. DaTable2)
Form3 BLTable3 DaTable3
(NameSpace = MyCompany.MyProject.BL. BLTable3) (NameSpace = MyCompany.MyProject.DA. DaTable3)
I have 2 question here:
(1).MSDN say that we should not have the namespace where its name is same with class name but it does not exlpain why.Does anyone know why? The msdn page is
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/893ke618%28VS.71%29.aspx
(2). Business Logic Layer BLTable1 need to interact with Data Access Layer
DaTable1 , so i put the code: imports MyCompany.MyProject.DA. DaTable1 inside
BLTable1, so that i can have access to all the public shared method inside
DaTable1 in BLTable1 for example : DaTable1.Save()
But problem arise when BLTable1 want to use the public shared method in BLTable2 .
I have put the code imports MyCompany.MyProject.BL. BLTable2 inside BLTable1,but i need to
key in the class name twice only can access to the public shared method inside
BLTable2 for example :BLTable2.BLTable2.Save.
