• mognog Question regarding the CSLA framework

  I'm currently in the beggining stages of designing an application around the CLSA framework. Before i go too far i would like to know if anyone has used this framework successfully in any mid to large size applications If not, what went wrong I like the way the framework is layed out but its a big investment in time and money (work hours). Any help would be appreciated. I had Rocky's book (highly recommended) and have reviewed the CLSA.NET framework, but I have never used it in a production environment. I have used a custom port of the CSTemplates ( http://cstemplates.sourceforge.net ) framework for the past year or two. It has worked extremely well in both very large and small systems. The good thing about working with a framew ...Show All

• FredV When and Where to use Interface

  Hi All, I have a question here.Im bit confused of interface usage. Is it correct to have a separate separate interface for data objects I have around 10 business classes and have corresponding 10 data classes. Do we need to have a separate separate interfaces for each and every data class What is the correct norms of using interface Please clarify this. Thanks in advance. It depends... are you going to be making these classes COM accessible If so... then yes, you’ve got to use interfaces for everything that will be visible as a COM component. Do you have to use them No, you do not *have* to use interfaces with your classes... and without know much more about your classes, how you use them today and how y ...Show All

• jdrawmer Unable to edit in datasheet - WSS 3.0

  When I try to edit a list in datasheet view I receive the following error: The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons: A datasheet component compatible with Windows SharePoint Services is not installed, your browser does not support ActiveX controls, or support for ActiveX controls is disabled. This worked as of 2 or 3 weeks ago ( I do not remember the last time I tried it), and I cannot think of anything that has really changed locally or on the server. Other users have no issues. I have office 2003 with the SP parts installed. It is in my trusted site list and security is set to custom off a low template. All activeX controls are set to "allow" for the zone.

• Robert3234 VSeWSS Debugging has just stopped working????

  Hi All, when I did my clean install, I created a simple "hello World" web part. Pressed F5 and it deployed and debugged - Hooray. (VS2005, SP1, VSEWSS, SQL Server 2005) Now I am starting to work on the real web part, I have run into two problems. The first is the most worrying: Pressing F5, fires up the build, and the deployment, BUT never fires the browser or the debugger. It just says deploy successful. Now I do have ASP debugging enabled in IIS, and it DID work at first. Can anyone tell me how to get this working again please The second is that after one or two succesful deployments, it suddenly stops deploying with a weird error of: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". So I then ...Show All

• abcoura Alternatives to waiting on Message loops for keyboard input

   Hello, The am looking at real time measurement of keyboard input times (WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN) for my application. Is there a way to get notified of KEYUP and KEYDOWN events by a method does not require waiting on message loop to capture keyboard inputs at the application level thanks, You can add hooks to the WM_KEYUP and EM_KEYDOWN events if you are using Visual C++. Then you can have a variable in your class which will store the time at which the event occured. This way, windows will automatically notify your application of these events and you will not have to run your own message pump. ...Show All

• Rascal123 Still unclear on how to use Typed Datasets in BLL...

  OK, I have decided to use typed datasets in my data access layer (DAL). So, my question is, do I really need to create a business logic layer (BLL) From what I have read, you can extend the dataset classes in the DAL using partial classes and place business logic there. Doesn't this combine the DAL and BLL into one component Or is there something I'm missing Do you create the BLL and start by referencing the DAL project and inheriting the classes from the DAL and extend the classes there I don't get where one ends and the other starts. OR, if it really makes a difference. ...or do I even know what I'm talking about...
