We are in the midst of developing WEB application using .NET. so, i would like to know the Best practises for ASP.NET development, SQL server db, IIS security and network security as well. Where to get the information? I googled for it, but i cannot get the complete set and the info was updated 7 years ago. [URL]
View 2 RepliesThis question is for ASP.NET and SQL Server developers. What are your best practices with respect to setting up your development and test environment? I'm interesting in the following issues:
1. How many tiers do you recommend and what goes on on each tier? Just dev, test, and production or perhaps dev, test, staging, and production?
2. Which types of applications and/or servers should run on actual physical hardware and which can get away with a VM?
3. What are your strategies for loosely coupling users from web sites, web developers from their web/app/DB servers, and DB developers from their DB servers?
4. How do developers stay "DRY?"
5. What are the pros and cons to putting web, app, and DB servers on their own machines? Does putting servers on separate machines in order to minimize contention for a machine's resources trump any NIC and network latencies that might be introduced by putting them on different machines?
6. How do you configure your web apps to minimize contention for resources (e.g. virtual directories, separate application pools, etc.)
7. How and how often do you refresh your databases on each tier? Do you just refresh the data or both the data and objects?

I use VS 2010 (C#) with SQL server 2008. I prefer to use the entity framework.
I would like to know are there any good developer tools/ways to simplify work?
I have a solution with more than one ASP.NET web-application. Every application has its own virtual directory on the same IIS. One application is calling aspx pages in the other applications. How can I share some information (e.g. user/password) between these applications. Is the only way using querystrings (in this case, I must encrypt the information).
View 2 RepliesI am starting to develop a facebook game using ASP.NET + Silverlight
Which architecture would you use? ASP.NET MVC or MVVM or RIA Services?
ALso what do you think about using XNA with Silversprite?
The game won't be a arcade game. It will be more strategy/RPG.
1. Can you explain me what is component based development ? What I am already doing is using layers (user interface, custom types, data access layer and busines logic layer). For example for filling a drop down list with countries what I do is getting data from DAL using custom types in my BLL and BLL return a list of countries to user interface. Now in my opinion it is a plug-able component that I can use anywhere. Should it be called a component ?
2. What is a component a method ? or class or a assambly ?
3. Can components be like that (methods and assemblies) or they are services to embed ?
4. Actually I never have used services, if component can be in both ways (services & classes and assemblies) than what approach is better, should component be made in form of assemblies or services ?
5. Without being so technical any general rules on making re-usable components ?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on building a Web Forms app to process an online application that users enter in. This application takes one set of person info (name, address, etc..) and then can take X number of several other sets of information. I have the database design set up to handle the information (and all the keys/relationships). Where I'm having a problem is deciding the best way to handle taking the information on the web form.
Currently I'm thinking to build each set of information into its own user control and then trying to dynamically add an instance of the user control onto the page as needed to take each set of information. For instance, if one person has 3 personal references, they could have a button to keep adding reference controls until they put in all the information. So you'd start with 0 controls, click add to have 1, click to add a second, etc. I've read a lot of posts about issues regenerating the control, or problems with static variables when multiple people are using the same form and control counts being off. Am I taking the right approach to this project or is there an easier way I'm not aware of?

Suppose you want to create some DLL. It will have many classes and methods. There is some information which will be used by many methods. I would like to hand over the information to the DLL once, and the DLL should store it in some place where any method can access it.
The DLL will be used both from within an EXE and from within an ASP.NET application.

View 1 RepliesI want to read some information from an xml file and store it ready in memory so that it can go out with every page response without being reloaded from the xml on every request.
What is the best way of doing this?
It looks to me like there are 2 options. Either create a class with static fields that the information is stored in. Or create a class with public fields that the info is stored in and create an instance of that class at application level.
Is that correct, are both of those options viable? or will I not be able to access the fields in the second method without creating an instance of the class in the code that responds to the page request(basically if you create an instance of a class at application level can you use that instance from within code anywhere in your website as long as it is public)?
We have a largely asp.net web form team (With some Oracle developers thrown in).
Question 1:
Is it a good idea to start using asp.net MVC which will mean redevelopment of a number of standard controls for not much benefit.
Question 2:
Is it a good idea to hire developers where there most recent skills are with asp.net MVC?
I doubt there is any benefit adopting MVC now, given the 100+ applications in this suite of products, and the maintenance/rework this will cause. Given this, is there any particular reason to hire MVC developers, as they won't be hitting the ground running, which is what I need now.
I am planning to develop a social networking website for student of a particular university with following facilities.
Forum, Blog, Creating profile, creating groups , Adding Friends, managing groups, dating, chatting etc.
Now if I start developing it from scratch, this will take a lot of time..
I couldnt find any CMS which can in developing social networking website.
Additionally, I would like the website to have my own custom design. Also it should have support for AJAX, SEO and integrating third party applications.

View 4 RepliesWhat is the common practice of input validation? In other words do you check for input validation on client-side, on server-side or on both sides?
Also, if performance is crucial to me, would just the client-side input validation be sufficient for my website without presenting any security risks?
I have a web application where users can upload the photo. I do have a windows service running which takes the uploaded photo and crops it to different sizes. This runs in a specified interval. Photo will be visible to the user once after it's cropped. So once user uploads the photo and photo cropper has not yet run, they wont be able to see the photo. Due to this behaviour user thinks that there was some error uploading the photo and they will upload it again and again.
where the photocropper runs immediately when the user uploads the photos which is queued.
I am using asp.net & C#.
I'm about to begin an ASP.NET MVC project and I'm not sure how to approach an aspect of the design. Basically, there is a user site and an admin site. In the admin sites, administartors design a form and send an e-mail link out to a handful of people. When the users click on the link, they are sent to the form.
Essentially what I'm wondering is what are the best practices when the model resembles looks more like a dictionary than a table?
In other words, instead of:
CREATE TABLE FormResponse (ResponseId, FormId, UserId, FirstName, LastName, BirthDay, Comments)
...containing 1 row per complete response
It's more like:
CREATE TABLE FormResponse (ResponseId, FormId, UserId, QuestionId, Value)
...containing 4 rows. 1 for the FirstName, 1 for the LastName, 1 for the BirthDay, and 1 for Comments.
I'm very new to MVC (just started 2 days ago), and I would like to know what the best practice is for outputing HTML.
I have a model named Tools.cs which contains the code below. It uses a stored procedure to return a recordset of menu items, and another to return a second level of menus for each first level menu. In another function, I then loop through the recordset and generate the HTML code to display the menu in a string, which is then returned.
I then have a controller MenuController.cs which calls the GetMenu method and puts the returned HTML string in the ViewData["RightMenu"].
I then have a view which displays the result.
My question is: would it be better practice to return my datareader to the controller into ViewData["RightMenu"], and then loop through it and construct my HTML in the View instead?How would I get that to work with that second level of menus?[Code]....

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications, Silverlight Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and Windows Phone 7 applications I was wondering whether a similar project (reference implementation) intended for software developers building WCF applications exists.
In our main internal project (a .Net WinForms rich client app), we don't talk directly with the database but instead fetch and update data with ASP.Net web-services that we also control. Our current setup is giving us some bottlenecks. For a new smallish project, we want to try WCF. Objective question: Where do I find a not-too-basic WCF reference project?
In my experience building web applications, I've always used a n-tier approach. A DAL that gets data from the db and populates the objects, and BLL that gets objects from the DAL and performs any business logic required on them, and the website that gets it's display data from the BLL.I've recently started learning LINQ, and most of the examples show the queries occurring right from the Web Application code-behinds(it's possible that I've only seen overly simplified examples). In the n-tier architectures, this was always seen as a big no-no.I'm a bit unsure of how to architect a new Web Application.
View 2 RepliesAll too often I find myself being required to design pages that flow through a series of steps. 1) Select from a set of options. Submit.2) Populate a page with results. Make changes. Submit.3) Do something based on the previous results. Submit.4) Confirm previous actions. Submit.5) Goto 1.An ecommerce site with shopping cart would be a textbook example of this.Now, there are any number of ways to deal with this. My question is, what is the recommended way to do it in asp.net? In PHP or ISAPI I would just use standard html controls, get the post data and do stuff with it, each on a different page
