• M Thomas Design Question

  We are designing a Enterprise web application. This application will be typical 3 tier application . With ASP.net in UI layer, BusinessLogic layer and Data Access Layer in C#. Database will be SQL Server 2005. My question is what advantages we can have if we place UI layer in separate physical server and BL and DAL in other server I am planning to use remoting in this context. An excellent answer from Kareem. Just a couple of points, don't assume you need to physically distribute your business / data access layer to a separate machine to achieve scalability. You could of course locate each layer on the same server (UI, Business and DAL) and simply load balance across your web server. This w ...Show All

• David E Montgomery Sharepoint Designer + Expression - Frontpage = ?

  I just downloaded the Frontpage replacement which consists of two products named Microsoft Sharepoint Designer and Microsoft Expression. From what I can tell the two products are practically identical in functionality. Questions: 1. What is the difference if any 2.

• focus_nz OO design question.

  I'm trying to figure out a good way of looking this.. I have a "Product" class ( which is the fullblown class having all the child info and such )  and I have a subset class we'll call  "ProductSummary" ( where it is used as an instance of OrderItems - when people are ordering products ) which doesn't have any child info - at least for now.  I also want a very lightweight instance, we'll call "ProductInfo" ( and make it a struct ) that I can use to bind to a list with just ID, Title, SubTitle, Description, and Price. now the problem is that I want to have a field called .DisplayName which required in all three classes..  ( btw so far I've not broke encapsulation because all the logic sits in Product.  ProductSummar ...Show All

• Scooter! get top level topics from sharepoint discussion forum

  I am using SharePoint Web Services to access the topics posted in a SharePoint discussion forum. The XML that is returned includes an entry to each topic, but also includes further posts on the same topic. I just want to have a list of the top level topics. Untimely, I require only the 5 most recently created topics I can achieve this by converting the XML into a dataset, but would prefer not to do this as in time, this may cause a large overhead. An example of the XML returned is shown below: <listitems xmlns:s=\"uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882\" xmlns:dt=\"uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882\" xmlns:rs=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset\" xmlns:z=\"#RowsetSchema\" xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/s ...Show All

• SN Ngaihte Breadcrumbs failing on a new Office SharePoint Server 2007 installation

  I've got a server sitting in a DMZ. Local users know the server as "companyWEB2" and everything works great. Users from another division get to the server as "ACCESScompanyWeb2". Most things work fine, but the breadcrumbs fail for everyone on coming in this way. One way around this is to put a localhost on each of those users PCs that maps ACCESScompanyWeb2 to companyWEB2. This works, but it's impractical to hit every PC. Anyone have any suggestions Thanks ...Show All

• Jenny Tam abstract vs interface

  hi everybody, In my current application,ther is a common fucntionality(method) which can change frequently. Should i use the abstract class or the interface to put the signature of the method (no body )inside. The answer which comes in my mind is interface but then why can't we use abstract instead by just giving the signature of method in the abstract class. Do interfaces or abstract differ in how much memory they consume and also in the performance of the application. Please elaborate on what is to be used prefably in which scenarios as i read many articles but none of them gives indepth knowledge. Regards "Interfaces" sounds politically correct but still there are considera ...Show All
