C# - .net Development Code Structure -Controllers, Services, Repositories & Contexts?
Dec 11, 2010
As a new developer I'm getting thoroughly confused by naming and structural conventions for developing c# code using best practice.I appreciate it's perhaps applicable to each domain I am developing for but I've seen the code of many different open source projects and there seems to be a common theme. The successful projects have well thought out structure for maintenance and extensibility.The terms context, service, repository and controllers are used often and I wondered if these are open to interpretation or is there a consensus or convention on what, where or how these get used.
In an e-commerce platform I've seen there are order services, order contexts, customer repositories and product controllers for example. What should they do based on these names? Does a controller do something different to a service? When should you use a context? Is there a convention for namespaces? It's mind boggling when you try and push from a spoon fed newbie developer and try to move on.What software/tools should I really be looking at to develop quality code? Unit Testing, Continous Integration, Resharper, Mocking tools, DOI Containers, nHibernate.
I'm not really aware of blogs/books that will help me push on from being a proficient web developer into someone who can develop extensible, quality and testable code. There are big gaps in authors assumptions. You are either a newbie or a software architect. I want to push from being a junior developer with a long term aim of being a software architect. I realise it's all about patterns and practices but where are the training materials? I work on my own so don't have the opportunity of learning from others.

ASP.NET, web form model.Is there any sample code/site that demonstrate a couple samples for regular website patterns/ templates? Like if I want to use tab to switch between different pages, should I put the code in a single page or in different page, and treat each tab as a page.Or if in a search page (just a single search bar and button), should I display my result panel in same page using dynamically enable the result panel, or just to another page? I want to find a general design pattern/ template.

The following question seems to be haunting me more consistently than most other questions recently. What kinds of things they look for when trying to debug "performance issues" like this?k, get this - running this in query analyzer takes < 1 second
exec usp_MyAccount_Allowance_Activity '1/1/1900', null, 187128
debugging locally, this takes 10 seconds:
DataSet allowanceBalance =
SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(
WebApplication.SQLConn(),
CommandType.StoredProcedure,
"usp_MyAccount_Allowance_Activity",
Params);
same parameters

I'm trying to get the current action method by this way.
ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor = filterContext.ActionDescriptor;
string actionName = actionDescriptor.ActionName;
var controllerType = filterContext.Controller.GetType();
var actionMethod = controllerType.GetMethod(actionName);
But if there're two action method with the same name, the AmbiguousMatchException will occur there. Without the ActionMethod property, how can I get the current action method now?

I am developing an app that needs a user to be logged in to function. I am developing the app and it kills me to to ALWAYS have to log myself in everytime I start the applicatiion for debugging (300 times a day...)How can I have my app log myself in in code behind everytime I start the application?
I tried this in the master page but did not work
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
Membership.ValidateUser("bcweedout@live.ca", "brazil")
FormsAuthentication.Authenticate("bcweedout@live.ca", "brazil")
End If
End Sub

I've been working on the ASP.NET Development Server recently (on an MVC project and I'm finding that it is inconsistent in how it serves the changes I make to my code. For example, I make a change to the C#/HTML/CSS/JS in the dev environment and run the page, and the change appears on the screen. But if I edit the HTML again and run the page again, the new change doesn't appear. Even ctrl+F5 doesn't do it. I have to stop the web server and run the app again for the changes to update. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to sort this problem out?
If I'm working in IIS and I change something, a ctrl+F5 will always update the page with the changes I've made. I'd like the dev server to be as reliable.

web-based so it can be used by users and hopefully using the class SQLSiteMapProvider which allows for saving sitemap in a SQL Database instead of XML.

i am new to ASP.NET. I am just now learning about all the benefits. I currently have some C# code that receives sensor signals such as distances from a robot and I wish to put that code into web services and into a website, so that if I want to gather some information from the robot i can through the web, as well as send signals back. I haven't found any information yet on how to do this.
I am just looking on how to intergrate the existing C# code I have to a web service

I have a class with about 5-10 methods which all my services (WCF) need to expose. What is the best way to expose all the methods in all the services keeping (DRY principle) in mind?Is interface inheritence a good design principle? e.g. public interface IBMW : ICar
{
blah();
blah();
}

Could someone explain what happens to the Repositories that are created when they are no longer needed? Are they automatically disposed of, or should we dispose of them manually?
Using EF4 as the DAL, to keep the program efficient I have been building repositories for the Model that abstract the data needed for specific views or actions. I have also used the Iinterface for the methods and call them in the Controller to pass them to the View. At some point the program needs to pass a behavior or request that requires the creation of a new repository and the process may repeat itself over and over again. What happens to the repositories that created for previous views, but are no longer needed? Should the dispose be written into each repository, or does garbage collection take care of this? How should this handled?

I've been reading up on MVC 2 and the recommended patterns, so far I've come to the conclusion (amongst much hair pulling and total confusion) that:
Model - Is just a basic data container Repository - Provides data access Service - Provides business logic and acts as an API to the Controller
The Controller talks to the Service, the Service talks to the Repository and Model. So for example, if I wanted to display a blog post page with its comments, I might do:
post = PostService.Get(id);
comments = PostService.GetComments(post); Or, would I do:
post = PostService.Get(id);
comments = post.Comments;
If so, where is this being set, from the repository? the problem there being its not lazy loaded.. that's not a huge problem but then say I wanted to list 10 posts with the first 2 comments for each, id have to load the posts then loop and load the comments which becomes messy.All of the example's use "InMemory" repository's for testing and say that including db stuff would be out of scope. But this leaves me with many blanks, so for a start can anyone comment on the above?

I have many webmethods in one asmx. I need to perform licence checking before some of this webmethods invoked. I can insert following code to each web method that needs checking:
if (!AllRight())
{
// badRequest
return;
}
Or I can insert complex filter to HttpModule to detect webmethod by URL. I need something like attribute for webmethod and place where I can handle it. Is there pretty good solution?

I would like to start a debate on traditional repositories versus one built on the UnitOfWork pattern. In a traditional repository, we wrap inserts, updates and deletes in a transaction, but selects don't really need them. In addition, nhibernate configuration is typically done once per application due to BuildSessionFactory being rather expensive. We often have several repositories of this type (one per aggregate chain). We also need to have projected, ahead of time, exactly what kinds of queries we'll need in order to build the interfaces and concretes correctly. In a single UnitOfWork repository we have the ability to manage both the current session and transaction, perform several operations, and then commit any changes all at once. In such a repository we may opt to put our configuration in the constructor since (typically speaking) no more than one Action is called per request anyway, initializing it in the application doesn't seem like much of an overall gain in speed. I must admit, I'm very temped to use the UnitOfWork pattern, as the following code looks really nice to me:
Csharp Code:
using (IUnitOfWork worker = new UnitOfWork()){// session and transaction are now both set
// save changes to three itemsworker.SaveOrUpdate(item1);worker.SaveOrUpdate(item2);worker.SaveOrUpdate(item3);
// grab a fourth var item4 = worker.Criteria<Foo>().Add(Expression.Eq("title", title)).UniqueResult<Foo>();
// delete the fourthworker.Delete(item4);
// all pending operations are commited or rolled back as a single unit (if one fails, all are rolled back), and then disposed, along with the session}
My proposed UnitOfWork class is rather simple. It implements IDisposable where I use a try-catch-finally in Dispose() to attempt a tx.Commit(), doing a tx.Rollback on failure, and a cleaning everything up in the finally clause. It also exposes common things like SaveOrUpdate, Delete, GetAll, Get, and even a Critera<T>() for custom on-the-spot queries. So what are your thoughts on this? I'd really like to hear about your experience with this pattern.

In a typical business application, a session is started and persisted across several pages. It is commited only when the transaction is complete. A good example of this is a tax preparation application. Once the session is started, it is persisted through session, cookies, or both. Nothing is written to file, or database, until the entire profile is complete and the refund/return is calculated. In such an ennvironment, is makes a great deal of sense to work with the structure imposed by domain driven design, and using a single repository to simple commit the session. However, there are times when this doesn't translate correctly, even when domain driven design is used.
An example of this is my forum project. While the entities themselves are good targets for domain driven design, I am not sure about the repositories. The basic structure is that a Category has many Forums, a Forum has many Threads, and a Thread has many posts. There are other things in there, but that's enough to describe what I want to get across. If a user has navigated to /Thread/Edit/42, and they have rights to edit it, all I am concerned about is fetching that record and displaying it. On postback, all I want is to be able to save it..................

Assuming my application did not warrant a full blown DDD setup, would Repositories still be useful? I like the way they shield from implementation details (such as use of Entity Framework) underneath. However Repositories tend to be tied to Aggregate Roots (the concept is still a holy grail to me) by definition.
I suppose the question could also be put as such: if I have a typical 3-tier application, with a business layer facade consisting of "logical grouping" classes based on functionality (rather than aggregate roots as in DDD) such as TradingManager and ContactsManager, would it make sense to also create "logical grouping" repositories. Or perhaps a Data Access Object, which I believe is like a Repository without the aggregate root requirement. Of course I will still have a Model (EF POCOs) that will be passed up and down between the layers.
Also, is what I just described would be considered as a Transaction Script approach? It's certainly not DDD, and not Active Record. I'm not even sure if Active Record exists with EF4 like it does with Nhibernate.
I am trying to understand how others structure n-layered applications when they do not follow DDD.

Are there advantages in creating complex types in EF4 Entities and then use the complex properties in the repositories; instead of creating the aggregates in the the repository themselves? I.e. If the customer repository consists of properties of 3 entities: customers, addresses, email would it make sense to create a complex type consisting of the address and email properties, and add them as a complex property of the customer entity then just call the customer entity and the complex property in the repository, rather than just creating the repository class and aggregate the entities in the repository.What are there advantages or disadvantages in doing this in a MVC3 application?

I have a few repositories in my project. All repositories inherit from an abstract interface repository containing the public datacontext variable and a Save function for the entire DB.
In my controllers I want to make changes to the the db and in one of my functions I'm working with two different repositories. Calling the Save function on each of the repositories I'm using can cause a situation in which one of the calls to Save succeeds and and the other fails resulting in a need of rolling back the changes of the Save function that failed.
What is the best way to work against multiple repositories and access to the DB to avoid such a situation?

I want to write a simple ASP.NET weg page in C# that will consume a web service method using SOAP.How to access a web service if it is on port 443 i.e HTTPS ? If the web method called successfully then it's response status code will be 200, how to return it back the same status code(that we have from web service) from where the page is accessed ?Suppose I have opened the ASP.NET web page ( that consumes the web service method) from the browser and the web servic method is not available / responding then we will have staus code in it's web response in that ASPX web page.My question is how to redirect that status code as status code of the ASPX page that actually calls web method internally, so that it will display some eror message(e,g 404, Page Not found ) directly on the browser.

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.
