I want to build a business object such as an employee class, but I know that 80% of the properties will barely get used. So I wanted to know how I can create the object with the important properties in the constructor and lazy load the ones that are barley used when they are needed (if at all).
I am using asp.net with c#.
I am trying to estimate how long it will take to migrate a Classic ASP application to .NET and came across hundreds of COM functions written in VB 6.
A majority of these functions only do parameter validation and actually calls the SQL server. Is this something that should be replace with an ORM? (Linq, nHibernate, Entity Framework)... or should there be more to this picture?
I am new to this .NET what is the difference between N-Tier and 3- Tier Architecture. If they are same. How to pass the values from presentation layer to business logic layer.
For Example
I have 10 controls in presentation layer. I passing values to these controls. How the architecture works.
I 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?
I've even got my JQuery Ajax submission going on now but I've encountered another problem. I *think* it's something to do with the structure I'm using but like I say, I'm fairly newo this.I have my AJAX form submission which builds my "PersonViewModel" (model for the presentation layer) in JSON and sends it to "@Url.Action("RegisterSubmit")" in my Person Controller. Now, I seperate my business layer from my View/presentation layer so in "RegisterSubmit"I'm verifying the model is valid then instantiating a new instance of my business model "Person", adding the values from "PersonViewModel" and then calling my "Save" function.
View 7 RepliesWe're building a large web app that has numerous layers. In order to communicate to the business layer we're using a service layer that the web layer calls when data is needed. Unfortunately, it seems that if exceptions are thrown in the business layer, it seems that the services on the web side are wrapping the exceptions and re-throwing them. We're looking for a clear way to encapsulate the error and log it, without WCF wrapping a new exception around the original.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to reevaluate our n-layer architecture and would love to get some based on your experiences. Here is our typical .NET n-layer (sometimes n-tier) design.
Project.UI
Project.Services
Project.Business
Project.Model
Project.DataAccess
DataAccess typically consists of Entity Framework 4 and Repository classes. I attempt to follow the Aggregate Root concept in order to avoid having a repository for table, easier said than done in my experience. I tend to have ~70% match between Repositories and Tables.
Model usually consists of my Entity Framework 4 entities, I've been using Self-Tracking EF entities with success.
Business is what I struggle with the most. I typically have a Manager class for every Repository. This class will contain methods like .Add() which will perform business validation before forwarding down to repository.Add().
Services, typically I will only implement this if in fact I am looking to create a web service based solution. This layer will be tasked with marshaling requests/responses between DTOs and entities. And most importantly provide the more coarse grained interface. For example a TradingService.SubmitTrade(), which is really a facade for a business transaction which might include AccountManager.ValidateCash(), OrderManager.SubmitOrder(), etc.
My business layer is very entity centric, really it's just the glue between the entities and the repository, with validation in between. I've seen many designs where the Service Layer is what holds a reference to the repositories (in essence skipping the "business layer"). In essence it serves the same purpose as my Business layer, it does the validation, however its' responsibility (and naming) is a higher level, more coarse grained business transaction. Using the example above the TradingService.submitTrade() will not delegate to any business manager classes, it would itself query the necessary repositories, perform all the validation etc.
I like my design in a sense that I can reuse a business layer method in multiple service calls, however I hate the fact that for every repository I have a matching business layer manager, creating tons of extra work. Maybe the solution is a different type of grouping at the Business Layer level? For example combine individual Manager classes like PhoneManager and EmailManager (note I have Phone entities and Email entities) into a logical Manager class such as ContactsManager (note I don't have a "Contact" entity type). With methods such as ContactManager.GetPhones() and ContactManager.GetEmail(), etc.

Does the entity framework come with some inbuilt mechanism for lazy loading?
View 1 RepliesAt present I am using ajax:TabContainer for the tabs. As you know that does not do Lazy loading. Can sonone give me links to or some code examples to do Tabs with Lazy loading. I know that the Jquery tabs do lazy loading but there are no complete examples on the web which tells you on how to do lazy loading with JQuery tabs.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a website that has more and more LINQ queries. I have been keeping down the download size, optimizing the images, js, css and using HTTP Compression. I notice however, that now that I am using more LINQ queries and more complex queries, join and group joining queries, the 'waiting' time that the browser is doing is going up. The KB size of the page isn't any greater, but the page ultimately takes longer to load.
I have been reading up on LINQ and the behind the scenes of how it works. I have found that I need to use DataLoadOptions for the queries that join/group join to reduce the round trips to the database. I haven't had a chance to work on this yet, so if anyone has any great resources on this or tips, I'd appreciate it.
My main question about LINQ to SQL in this post is, if I have a bunch of queries throughout my site, in the masterpage, and the page itself, if I do not put .ToArray() at the end of the query, does that speed it up? If I leave ToArray() off of all the queries, do they then execute all at once when the page is loading instead of each time the page gets to that specific line to read and execute it?
I may be asking a dumb question, since I don't know a whole lot about the behind the scenes of LINQ yet, or the compiling of the page. I am using VWD 2010, so it does not have the SQL Profiler for me to test what I am asking.
need to sanity check what I think is correct. If I have some LINQ entity relationships that I create in code thus:-
[Code]....
these would lazy load, by default - correct? And if the first link was changed to
[Code]....
this would also lazy load and defer loading until GetObjectLink() was called, yes?
I've got this problem.I launched an ASP.NET website with the Umbraco CMS on an ISP.(Its just a very basic informative site. nothing special.)When I go want to visit the website however, the first pageload takes a lot of time, sometimes even up to 20 seconds. Of course this is ridiculous. Afterwards, I am able to navigate the site relatively quick.. So every first pageload is slow, then everything is OK, more or less.Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be? Would it be IIS? ASP.NET?

What is the best way (for a .Net 4 project) to implement authorization in the business layer. Simply I want to check whether a certain identity can access a certain action/resource.
I've tried to look this up in Patterns & Practices, but haven't found anything useful yet.
And what about PrincipalPermission of ASP.Net 2.0? Is this still relevant? What about maintenance?

I have a application with a 3-tier architecture. Onclick event of a button, I am calling a method in my code behind file. This method is defined in the Interface( Interface resides in my Business layer) and the implemtation of this method is given in the Data access layer.
The business layer and DAL are on different projects. I have compiled the entire solution and it complies OK. Now when I try to click the button I get the error:
"The method 'doInsertCust' was not found on the interface/type 'My.Type, MyTypeLibrary, Version=1.0.2371.15203, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.".
Note that I have already build the Business layer and DAL and the respective DLL gets automatically refreshed.

I am creating an ASP.NET MVC application and want to display an icon in the view based on a value of a property in the model. I guess I want to have the logic deciding which image to show in the business layer (which is in a separate class library project) but the actual images files in the web application's "Content" folder. Should I set the url of the image in the business layer? I don't want the business layer to know that is serves a web application, it can be a Windows Form or WPF application as well. If I set the url with System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath it feels like I am getting an unwanted dependency on System.Web, right? What are the options here?

Do I have to make classes that access all those tableadapters or am I missing some reference I need to add?

I am working on implementing a web application in ASP.Net by following the MVC design pattern (Not ASP.Net MVC). As part of the design, we have entity objects that has only properties as per the corresponding table structure and the idea is using these entity objects in the view layer and the same entity objects are passed to Persistence Layer for saving the data to the database. Business Objects in the business layer are responsible for interacting with the database.
As view creates the entity objects and passes to next layer, what would be the best practice to pass the entity objects to the business layer? Should the business objects accept data objects as parameters and interact with the persistence layer? Is there any other best practice to pass the required objects from the view layer to the next layer? As business objects also need to access the properties of the entity objects passed from the view layer, do we need any "translation" from entity objects to business objects?
the best practices to pass entity objects from view layer to the next layer and also how the entity objects created by the persistence layer can be used by business objects?
I'am using enterprise library data access block in my asp.net application. I want to implement transaction from the Business logic layer, across multiple stored procs. Entlib opens a new connection for database access. Does using Transaction Scope in the following way lead to distributed transaction?
using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required))
{
// calling necessary DAL methods
scope.Complete();
}
Is there better methods to implement transaction from BLL?
