I'm now reading this article:[URL]But I don't understnad why this is better than just writing code, methods that connects to DB and get from stored procedore what I need.
Why is it better to use so much DataSets for all the tables and more.
I can use similar code below to select a row in my database when I enter a value (username) in text box and it successfully retrieves.however, I'd also like to delete row from database based on the username i enter in text box. My code runs but no row is deleted...my code is:
SQL:
private AdminTableAdapter adminGetUsers;
I keep all of my code in codeLib.cs and use it on various ASP.NET pages. However, I still have to do the databind(); in the code behind page for each aspx file. How can I eliminate all code in the aspx file so I just have the UI in the aspxand the code and databind(); in codeLib.cs.
View 4 RepliesAre there scenarios where it makes sense to encapsulate a data access layer (of a ASP.NET webapplication) with WCF or WCF Data Services ? Makes it sense to use a service inside the application ?
View 2 RepliesI am building a web site following the tutorials on asp.net. I am using dataset as data access lay, and writing classes to access the dataset. But the example is just basic ideas, how do I retrieve individual table column value in the business layer?For example, if I have a table called Product, I only want to find out what is the product name by product id. I did this in my ProductBLL:
public ProductBLL
{
public int GetProductName(string productId)
{
ProductDataSet.ProductDataTable prodData = Adapter.GetProductById(productId);
[code]...
Is there a better way, or am I doing this correctly? Can anybody give me a reference to a more complicated business logic model?

View 7 RepliesI've been attempting to walk through the "Creating a Data Access Layer" tutorial found [URL] I create the DB connection, create the typed dataset and table adapter, specify the sql, etc. When I add the code to the presentation layer (in this case a page called AllProducts.aspx) I am unable to find the NorthwindTableAdapters.ProductsTableAdapter class. I tried to import the NorthwindTableAdapters namespace, but it is not showing up. Looking in the solution explorer Class View confirms that there is a Northwind class, but not the namespace I'm l ooking for. I've tried several online tutorials that all have essentially the same steps, and I'm getting the same results.
View 1 RepliesWe are using a tierd design with a Data Access Layer and classes for everything we need. This serves as an advantage because we do not have to write querys over and we can separate the Presentation layer from the Data Access Layer and Business Rules.I have always in the past populated GridViews, DataLists, repeaters,etc with SqlDataSources. This is what I have become accustomed to and I feel like it is simple. For querys such as Select * from Members, I feel like using a DataSource is simpler than having to go in the code and calling methods to populate and DataBind these presentation controls.
I am working with a gentleman who has introduced me to the world of Data Access Layers and we are breaking everything down into simeple, but effective queries to populate controls and do what we need to accomplish with this application. He is not very approving of using any type of DataSource. We are disagreeing on the time and place to use these class methods to call the database.So my question is, which is more widely used in the programming world? Do most people use DataSources to populate presentation controls regardless of the Data Access Layer they are working with? Which type of queries are best suited for a DAL - simple, populating queries or complicated joins and upserts?
I'm having a difficult challenge of passing a DropDownList Selected Value to a Data Layer having a Function containing 'cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CourseDDLid", CoursesDDL.SelectedValue.ToString)'. Visual Studio is indicating I need to declare 'CoursesDDL'. I tried accessing the 'Find Control' method but it did not work. Below are the codes for your review.

Iam facing the problem with creating the Data Access layer using Dataset.xsd file and How to access the data from the file.
View 2 RepliesIn old style i used to return datasets to BOL (From DAL) and then to Website. but in 3.5 is there any new way to construct DAL. i heard about returning List<> is better than DataSet. I Got to build new DAL for my new project. if i should go for List <> aprroach can i use Linq to Sql technique or shall i go for execute dataset (using applicatio block libraries) and then fill data in List<> prior to return it back to BOL.

I have been researching for a while and have actually created a prototype ASP.NET web service as a DAL for a few ASP.NET 2.0 web sites. Just would like to ask for some insight/advice from more experienced developers out there who had successfully rolled out DAL as a web service. What are the drawbacks/risks to deploying DAL as a web service? What is the best way to secure or authenticate consumption of this web service? WCF is out of the question, I'll be coding in VS 2005.

I have a potential project where I would be working on developing the "Data Access Layer" of a reporting application using ADO.Net and LINQToSQL.
I have not specifically worked on a Data Access Layer project (middle tier), so I was wondering if anyone here could provide a sample / example / resource, where I can get an idea of what the project entails.
I'm trying to retrive images from SQL (2005) using ASP.NET 2008
At present I have a business object layer and a data access layer to get some data from the database. This works fine but now, i would like to also retrive an image along with the data.
part of my business object layer is shown below, how can i incorporate the image into this.
I have a DLL file which will take care of displaying the image in the web page once i have retrived it.

I am developing a web application, which has Data Access Layer and this layer has only one class, in which all methods are static methods like static Insert, static Update, static Search. It has no properties. I am using these methods in my Bussiness Logic class for my users who are visiting my website.Now my question is : 1. Is it right to use static methods in this scenario ?2. What will happen if 10 users call Insert method at the same time ?

View 2 RepliesI am creating my application in asp.net 3.5. I have to make my Data Access layer, in which I am doing the traditional method of fetching/updating the data. Which is SqlConnection than SQLCommand, than SQLadapter. Will there be any other way I can create my DAL layer easily.
Specification.
My website is small. Approx 7-10 pages. Database has around 80 tables.
What I know:
Linq to SQL - I don't want to use it because I am not fully aware about the LINQ statement and I need to develop the application really fast. [3 days :-( ]. Also, there are 100% chances that the table structure will be altered in future. Enterprise Library: It will take too much time for me to integrate to my application.
I have written the following functions(1 & 2) in a class file(say abc.vb) to execute a sql statement in code behind.

I am learning on how to create data access layer code for a web site. I want to ensure I am actually connecting to the datasource, so, I am wanting to use a try/catch block within my data access layer class methods. What I am not sure how to handle is a case where the connectionstate is not open. The method should ideally return a datatable. If an error is thrown would I just return an empty datatable? That is my first thought. My other thought is to return an object and pass a datatable if the connection succeeds or the exception if the connection fails.

Since i will be using asp.net 2.0, I wont be able to use LINQ.I need to finish the development of the website in a very quick manner.How do i generate the data access layer automatically. I found NHibernate as one solution, but it seems too difficult for such a small project.

Actually my main aim is to make a framework, from DAC, DAL, BL to GUI. I want suggestions from you guys that what should i adopt, what give me flexibility, which suits for both small and large size applications.
