• Uggywuggy Deciding which design strategy to use for n-tier applications

  I'll use a typical, simplified ERP system as an example. Most ERP will contain the following 3 basic features: Data maintenance Ad hoc search/reporting Business processing These three features differ in their nature and it affects the design chosen in architecture. Just wondering how should we deal with these problems Data maintenance: This area contains highly repetitive CRUD plumping works. ORM is suitable for this task. Ad hoc search/reporting: This area is hardly "object-oriented". The main concern would be performance. Dynamic SQL query may be a good choice. Business processing: This includes business process such as processing/tracking workflow, matching payment with invoi ...Show All

• Jamie Thomson MySite masterpage

  Hi All, On MOSS2007: I'm trying to change the default masterpage for mySites.

Any ideas on what's the best approach to link up my mySites with a custom masterpage Fred Hi, Well, I use a custom masterpage on the rest of the portal, so I'dlike to use that one.

• Jack Wong don to not use "Inheritance"

  Have anyone try to design with no Inheritance at all I think *Inheritance* is not good as we think. It's force us to somthing we don't need, It's ok in some cases that better to be solved with no need to it. what do you think regards, dotHuman. Inheritance does have its place in OOP. When an class is "a-type-of" another class, it is easier to use inheritance. Example is as follows: You have an application for a Club House. The club has Gold, Silver, Ordinary and Child members. It is better to create a Member Class (usually an abstract class) and to inherit Gold, Silver, Ordinary and Child members from Member Class. Some people may argue that interface can do the same but ...Show All

• Yeshia design problem (binary parser)

  Hello, I'm currently writing a part of an application which must translate a sequence of bytes (read from a network connection) into an object instance. The whole sequence is considered as a unique value, except for the first 2 bytes which identify the type of the value (numeric, string, or structured), and how the value should be parsed (the value itself can eventually be a list of values). I was thinking of inheriting from System.IO.BinaryReader for the parser (using a System.IO.MemoryStream for the byte sequence), having an abstract base class for the sequence content representation (class ContentBase), and different concrete classes which inherit from ContentBase (for example ContentInteger, ContentString, ContentListString ...Show All

• Michael_Giagnocavo How to prevent Service Control Manager from writing to the Event log

What I found was everytime I load the driver I get a eventlog message saying "The XXXX service was successfully sent a start control" I presumed one of the paramenters passed on to CreateService() or StartService() would prevent that message, apparently not. Question is how do we prevent this SCM message from getting logged in the event log Any help will be much appreciated thanks ananda ...Show All

  Hi, I have some serious issues regarding a webfarm of MOSS2007 in an production environment. The webfarm is one frontend with MOSS2007 and one databaseserver with SQL 2005.
