I 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.
I see a lots of different framework for development of app in asp.NET using C#. Please suggest a stable and well document framework for FB development.

how to develop similar chat in dat of facebook. Am usiing asp.net 3.5 with c#
I am developing a facebook application in asp.net using the facebook developkit downloaded from [URL] website.
I am practicing a sample application in SDK 3.02samplesIFrame.
They have give an attribute called RequiredAttribute = true in IFrameMaster.Master.cs, which will access the basic information.
But I want to request for extended permission in the same screen itself.
For that i have used this.RequiredPermissions = new List() { Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.publish_stream, Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.offline_access };
But there is no use.
Is there any way to do it.
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 Replies1. 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 ?
This 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?

Another question: I have a asp.net website and a back-end processing software. I want the back-end processing software to comunicate with the website so that the website can dynamically update the page. I am thinking that web service may be the solution. Is this right?

View 1 RepliesI was wondering, though I have got quite a few articles in this regard and all of them are for previous versions of XNA or not what I need, is it possible to embed an xna game in a asp.net website???
Means like there are several websites (game portals) having several games of may b flash or java. But is it possible to embed your xna game in a web site, and play it on web. May be using Silverlight so that User playing online do not have to updates its DirectX drivers or stuff.I am a beginner in Game Development.
Is it possible to host a game say counterstrike on ftp. eg. [URL]
This provides a game control panel to handle server from website. How game gets started on hosting server. Do we needs to install game on hosting server though commands given in its API. or is it there some other procedure to host game on hosting server
EDIT
Try referring to this link which show requirement of the control panel. I want to develop a same kind of thing with only starting and stopping server
I apologizes for not being able to explain my question clearly as even I dont know how to make my question clear as I used to play this game host server on my system. But want to host server on web hosting server.
I need a reliable way of checking if a user is logged into a web based game. This is the scenario:
I have a game on the front end built in Flash with Actionscript 3, that calls a web Service in .NET. So in some way I'd like to create a reliable way of getting a list of users that are logged into the game. I would need to create a Timer in Actionscript that calls a method in the Web Service every certain amount of time, but I'm not sure which is the best way to do it on the server side.
I remember in the old days with classic asp I'd use global.asa and it was not reliable at all. Also, checking a database with a boolean, would always depend on the user clicking on "logout". So i guess there needs to be some kind of asyncronous coding in there somehow.
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 developing a small browser based game in asp.net. Think of a game room which has a capaticy of 22 players and players join the room by clicking a button. ( I am saving the number of players in the room in database) I need to call a method when the number of players in the room is 22. The problem is I don't know how to control the number of players in the room. I mean I think like there need to be a bacground code which has to run all the time at the server and that code controls the number and call the function.
View 4 Repliesbeginner programmer - basic C#, first year of university going too slow in terms of actually learning programming. i'm looking at creating framework for a basic browser game, in the vein of urbandead and the now dead nexuswar. because i'm a student i already have visual studio 08 for free - because of this, and my experience with C#, is it worth it to choose ASP.NET/ADO.NET over PHP/mySQL for this kind of project?

View 1 RepliesI am going to start a new online trading simulation game.
Server Page:
A game will be loaded with an xml which contains the instruments for this game and each instrument initial and changing factor price(which determines the price for the next interval ex: 1 min).
User Page:
After the game is loaded successfully, Users can launch a page where they can buy/sell instruments. During this buy/selling process, the profit/loss should be shown to user in real time. A dropdown will be populated with the instruments, when selected, should show a real time graph of the price.
Design:
I want to use ASP.NET and silverlight to develop this application where an ajax request will be sent in configurable time to the server to get the latest details about the instruments. Then based on the response, the client browser will be updated with the latest prices. The instrument graph also will be updated in the same way. So, I would like to know whether this is a right way of building this applicaiton.
