• Marc Rush Dataset, Typed Dataset or NHibernate?

  Not again.... I know some of the experts here will say. But I have read tons of articles, blogs, forums, and still can't decide on which to use to pass the data among the layers. Here is what my design need to take care of: 1. 3 layers architecture, where UI, BLL and DAL should be seperated. 2. The BLL/DAL should be somesort like "portable", can be reused in Windows Application and Web Application. So no repeated code needed. 3. The BLL/DAL can be called from within an application or through remoting/web service. 4. The BLL/DAL can act like APIs which can intergrate with other non-.Net system (VB6, VFP, C++, Java, etc.) I have to mention I have no experience in remoting, web service and COMIneterop (yet), but these will ...Show All

  Hi, I have a server where the WSS installed and I have installed VS 2005 in my local machine.

• Sai A Beginner question III - tier for windows forms application

  Hello, I'm a client-server programmer new to III tier aproach. Ok, i understand benefits of III layer, dividing funtionality in diferenents components that can optionally run in differents servers, i'm learning with GoF and Fowler patterns books. But I don't know if i need to run layers in differents servers. The principal reason i've found to III-tier is that in client-server architecture every client hold a connection to the database, and because connection are resource intensive, system doesn't scale.Text talk about thousands of clients is imposible for client-server system. But nowadays ram is cheap so with and estimation of even 1mb per client connection, 2000 clients would need 2gb for the server, not much memory. Other reason ...Show All

• Sniper167 Use Reporting Services to print SharePoint lists?

  Has anyone found a way to have SQL Server Reporting Services dynamically generate reports of SharePoint 2007 lists based on the onscreen filtering/sorting and the underlying SharePoint View (columns, groupings) We like the flexibility to give power users a way to set up their own custom views of SharePoint lists but we need to find a way to let them produce reports based on their views. Unfortunately, our users still have a requirement to generate professional looking paper reports. The print capabilities of IE7, although much improved over IE6, are still not good enough for reports that are sent outside of our company. Specifically missing from IE7 are customization of page headers/footers (for company names/logos); and the abillity ...Show All

• davser Designing multi-company databases

  I'm designing a website that can be used by multiple companies. It seems that there are two options: 1) The set of tables used by a company is owned by that company. This implies a database per company. This allows each company to upgrade individually but could cause managment problems with having many databases. 2) Use only one database but place a company ID column on each table. This implies only one database for the entire website but restricts companies from being able to upgrade independantly. Are there any other options besides the two listed above If not then which option do you think would be the best Depending on the database. If you choose a mature database like SQL Server, ...Show All
