I'm trying to build a small, web application. But I want to use desing patterns in it. So I have a question: which desing patterns do you use and why in asp.net applications?
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to decide which of the two factory patterns I should use in my Asp.Net applications:
1 : All DAL providers derive from same abstract base class DepartmentsProvider, which defines public interface of the class ( all the necessary CRUD methods for which derived classes (providers ) provide a concrete implementation ). BLL layer instantiates correct provider by calling DepartmentsProvider.Instance:
public abstract class DepartmentsProvider
{
static private DepartmentsProvider _instance = null;
/// <summary>[code]....
In first case we implement new provider by deriving from DepartmentsProvider class, while in second case new provider is implemented by deriving from DBProviderFactory. What are pros and cons of each implementation?
1.what is the difference between design patterns vs architectural patterns ?
2. In which situations They are preffered?
what are design patterns and UML diagrams with best examples. How we should use in real time scenarios. Recurring iam facing these type of questions in project round.
View 5 Replieswhich one is better in "Session Facade Class" and "Singleton Object" design patterns in ASP.Net? Also, please state the scenarions where specific design pattern is advisable to use.
View 1 RepliesOur site is expected to allow the user to do whatever they want from a number of different places. Except, that doing whatever they want really means firing off mini sequences of pages they must vist (or possibly abort from to go off to another task) before returning to their starting point. So, at any given time, the user has a list of pages they are allowed to go to, a list of pages they must go to in order to complete their task, and some end point they must eventually return to, all of which are constantly changing.
As an example, a user may choose to edit an order they placed, at which point they must step through a series of pages to edit the order. These pages to edit an order may be different based on the type of order they are editing, and they must return to whatever place they were at when they decided to start editing the order. They may also have certain options of other pages to visit during their order editing process.
I really need a good way to handle this for a large number of different scenarios, and allow it to be easily changed. Right now we are doing things like setting session variables when a user chooses an action and checking them within the page on button handlers to see what they are allowed to do or where they are allowed to go. I'd love to be able to abstract this out into something that can be easily examined in one place, or even data driven, and have some sort of navigation controller pointing them to the pages they can or must go.
I need to create a singleton that would hold lots of data for a spedesign patterns - Singleton behavior with multi-user requests in ASP.NETcific user. However, I am not unclear as to what the behavior of that singleton is in regard to multi-user app requests.
Here is the scenario:
On AppStart event I want to load common data for all users (from SQL) and store it as a collection somewhere within the ASP.NET storage mechanisms.
If I store that data in the cache, I would also have to create a static property in the Global.asax that would provide access to that the data from the cache.
This is not ideal because whenever an instance of any particular page, or generic handler, or what have you tries to query this data using Linq the property has to load the data from the cache... introducing latency. I need this data to be immediately available. (think of it as about 5K rows of data stored in collection of objects...)
I was thinking to use a singleton to get that data, and store it but I don't know how it would behave between requests (and postbacks), as well as application instances, in terms of its persistence.
On PostAuthenticate event I want to get user specific data from SQL in the form of a collection. If i store it as a singleton (in a similar manner as the common data) i am not clear as to:
How is the data persisted? What is the scope of that singleton (it should be for the duration of the user session). How can I ensure that the data is immediately available to whatever needs to consume it?
What happens between post-backs to that singleton? If another user logs in would another instance of that singleton be created for that specific application instance?
Does anybody knows good, short and slim tutorials (not here ), which describe actual/modern web-application architectures / patterns (especially for ASP.NET based (classic and MVC) applications (maybe also with embedded Silverlight components) ? How would you you design today an ASP.NET application which uses different datasources (databases, services,...) ? Background: I has been away a couple of years writing web applications, and I want to start now again. So at the moment I am a little bit unsure, how to take off and find the right starting point.
View 3 Replies ive tried to build some base project with above technologies. I wanted maximum flexibility and testability so i tried to use patterns along the way to make this as a base for future projects. However, it seem.something is wrong or whatever and i really need help here. So
i have two questions :1- Is there anything wrong with my current code ? Ive applied patterns correctly ?
2- Why do this code actually connect to the database, create it, but doesnt support insert even if i perform the corrects operation ? (Look at the end of the post for details about this error)
I have two entities : Comment and Review
COMMENT [Code]....
REVIEW[Code].... I built up a base repository for each of them this way :GENERIC REPOSITORY[Code]...For specific operations, i use an interface :[Code]....So i am getting the generics operations from the abstract class plus the specific operations :[Code]....As you figured out, i also use a database factory will produce the database context :DATABASE FACTORY [Code]....DISPOSABLE (Some extensions methods...)[Code]....DATABASE [Code]....And to finish, i have my unit of work....UNIT OF WORK[Code]....I also binded using Ninject the interfaces :NINJECT CONTROLLER FACTORY [Code]....however, when i call in the constructor ...[Code]....
This seem to create the database but doesnt't insert anything in the database in EF4. It seem that i may figured out the problem.. while looking at the database object.. the connection state is closed and server version throw an exception of this kind :
ServerVersion = '(((System.Data.Entity.DbContext (_database)).Database.Connection).ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'
I am doing the right things ? Is there anything wrong in what ive built ? Also if you have recommandation about the code i posted, i would be glad. I am just trying to the learn the right way for building any kind of application in MVC 3. I want a good a start.
I use :
- Entity Framework 4 Code-First CTP 5
- ASP.NET MVC 3
- Ninject as DI Container
hat is the difference between Architecture and Design patterns ?

View 1 RepliesI need to develop an application, which will get records (orders) from one application and process them. The updates to this records (order updates) will be sent back to the source application for end customer reference. I'm planning to achieve this data synchronization at the database level using triggers and stored procedures to insert database between the 2 databases.
But, the issue is I have to deploy this application in 3 different customer sites and I have to change the database names (cannot use the same database name) in each deployment manually. Because of this deployment issue, I was thinking of handling this within the asp.net application where I can store the db name in the database and then build the query within the application, but I dont want to do it as building queries like that doesnt look very professional.
I am working with a financial application and am looking for the best solution for designing my application.
We have 100's of stored procedures where most/all of our business logic sits. We have WCF web services projects built using Web Service Software Factory (http://servicefactory.codeplex.com/). We have stored procedures built for nearly everything (tables, dropdowns, etc..) and each of these stored procs have their own webservice exposed to be called by the web application. Each web service is a very simple method that calls the stored procedure with the exact paramaters of the web service. I am not too sure if this is the best design and would like to ask for suggestions and alternatives to the design. Does anyone else have a similar environment ? How is it implemented on your end ?
While designing (and then implementing) a layered application:
Is it correct to use the same ORM objects accross all layers? (which would go against encapsulation).
Or the presentation, business and data layer should each have their own objects? (which would lead to lots of code repetition).
e.g. (just to illustrate the question): if one uses Linq to SQL in the Data Layer and Visual Studio's O/R designer to generate the ORM objects, are those objects supposed to be used in the Business and Presentation Layers as well.
i.e.: Are the objects associated with the entities that the application handles a crosscutting issue?
I am very new to application design, how and from where should i start to design application
View 3 RepliesI've been asked to re-write an existing VS 2003 applicatoin in VS 2010. The application contains multiple sections that allows certains users the ability to edit based on security roles. Each user is able to view the sections. There is ton of code to enable/disable section permissions for each user. Is there a better option available in VS 2010? I'm not too familiar with MVC and not sure if it would work in this scenario - each section should be available when the users login.
View 9 RepliesI've got a web application with 3 layers: front, business and data. I'm using linqToSql for retrieving my data from the db. On the front end, I'd like to show the data that's being pulled from the database. In online examples all code is shown in the same layer. I'm wondering if it's good design to put a reference to the linqtosql classes in my front end so I can bind the results to my gridview, or whether I should use a different way. Since the user should be able to update the data, the easiest thing would be to use the gridview, connect it to the linq2sql datasource and bind it that way, but that would totally defeat my 3-layer structure.
View 1 RepliesI'm about to begin designing the architecture of a personal project that has the following characteristics:
Essentially a "game" containing several concurrent users based on a sport. Matches in this sport are simulated on a regular basis and their results stored in a database. Users can view the details of a simulated match "live" when it is occurring as well as see results after they have occurred. I developed a similar web application with a much smaller scope as the previous iteration of this project. In that case, however, I chose to go with SQLite as my DB provider since I also had a redistributable desktop application that could be used to manually simulate matches (and in fact that ran as a standalone simulator outside of the web application). My constraints have now shifted to be only a web application, so I don't have to worry about this additional level of complexity.
My main problem with my previous implementation was handling concurrent requests. I made the mistake of using one database (which was represented by a single file on disk) to power both the simulation aspect (which ran in a separate process on the server) and the web application. Hence, when users were accessing the website concurrently with a live simulation happening, there were all sorts of database access issues since it was getting locked by one process. I fixed this by implementing a cross-process mutex on database operations but this drastically slowed down the performance of the website. The tools I will be using are:
ASP.NET for the web application. SQL Server 2008 R2 for the database. probably with an NHibernate layer for object relational mapping. My question is, how do I design this so I will achieve optimal efficiency as well as concurrent access? Obviously shifting to an actual DB server from a file will have it's positives, but do I need to have two redundant servers--one for the simulation process and one for the web server process?
designing a view for Mobile browsers in ASP.NET MVC framework. I am new to this mobile web application development. I learned already how to provide a diffrent view when the request comes from a mobile browser. but now i need to learn, how to design the view with a good look and feel. I have demo this weekend with my client so i would appriciate if some one respond imidiately.
View 2 RepliesI am starting to design my own CMS , and i want it to be modular to add more functionality later by me or by any other developer I put my eyes on joomla CMS (very popular ,robust and extensible) I want to make a CMS with asp.net to be just skeleton and all functions are done through components
Functions like :-
User management
Content Management ,editing and display etc.
My main idea is to let the skeleton to know from the query URL the required component and pass all other parameters to it and the component do the rest (parse parameters display results etc.)
the problem is how to achieve this how to call the component and and how to let it render its UI and pass it to the skeleton to put it in the appropriate place in the main site template
i am working on a asp.net webforms app, and i have to create 'dynamic order lines'That is : you select a product and a quantity, and the amount is calculated.
To visualize: this is on one 'line', so forst product dropdown, next to it the quantity textbox and next to that the amount label.
Then you click 'add another product', and another 'line' is added with a product dropdown, quantity textbox and amount label.
So you can click add and add and add....
Now i was thinking how to implement that, and i came up with two choises:
'add html client side' and 'add user control server side'
The first looks more fancy of course, but i also have to create some server side code to generate the lines again, when the user says 'go' but after validation i have to warn the user for example the amount was over credit or the quantity was to high. Then i get the 'client side' added html, and i have to reproduce that in my code behind, am i right?
On the other hand (add user control server side), i have to create a new user control on 'and another product' postback, which might look easier in the beginning because it's all strong typed, and the client side (jquery / javascript) isn't?
And one more thing: there is a possibility (they are not sure yet) that this functionality is wrapped within a 'section', with an address box and call it an order.And then: the user can add that 'section' also multiple times, so he can create multiple orders in one page, so i have to create multiple sections for an order, and within that order have the possibility to add another product.It looks like it will be hard to do this client side, especially with generating id's?
I'm in the process of re-writing an existing survey application that is currently using nested repeater controls to display questions and answers. The application was not designed with future enhancements in mind and its a pain any time a new question has to be added to the application. The repeaters currently contain questions, answers, and controls(texbox, radiobuttonlist,etc.)
Is the repeater the correct control to use for this type of application? What is the best way to design this type of application and table structure? Are there any new controls or features in VS2010? How to design this application the correct way and make it more flexible?
How would I go about creating a desktop application that would be capable of generating an ASP.NET master page, perhaps using drag and drop for the different allowed elements (image, text, video). I would take the co-ordinates and generate a master page that can be used later.

the best practice for a designing a simple CRUD application with some screens updating various tables (like admin pages to maintain static data for an application). the simplest way would be to drag a data grid/gridview, bind it to a dataset and use a data adapter for CRUD operations. but if this application needs to be scalable, lets say to add any extra UI/business logic in future, then is there any design pattern that can with this? should I be using an object data source control and bind it to business objects instead? or are there any better ways of doing it? should I build a complete layered application or will that be overengineering for this requirement?
