• Quilnux Database Design

  Hi All, I need some advice and reference on database design. The database my application uses will have many tables, each with many columns. Most of the columns store data generated automatically by the application, and the data could be regenerated and overwritten by the app when necessary. However, I want to have the ability to let user overwrite the values through UI, so the app would not overwrite them. This is similar to the Tax software, where you can overwrite almost anything. What is the best design for this Thanks in advance. Regards, Q I think you can solve it simple. You shoud add a string field. In this field you put a binary string, with on ...Show All

• Steve1999 Windows forms layered application architecture?

  I am in the process of coming up with a business application that can run on Windows as a stand alone and can also connect to a server and work in a connected mode. I am trying to come up with an optimum architecture. This is what I have in layers 1. Windows Forms for the presentation 2. Business Model with a Facade front 3. Data access layer Screen Objects flow from the UI to the Business Model, container objects flow from the Business Layer to the Data Layer. The presentation layer supports asynchronous calls to the business layer and is updated accordingly.

• Marta.Pfahl Web farm architecture

  I want to design a web farm with three web servers. Can I use Application Center to do that If yes, is there any reference design diagram If no, any other suggestion You can access the cluster using the .50 address, the other two access a specific server in the cluster (since it is not a shared address). You can certainly deploy the application to a given server without detaching, but it's not recommended, because then one of your users might get their request routed to the server you're deploying to and get an error. However, if you detach it from the cluster, all user's will still get all their request serviced by the other servers and won't likely noticed your operations. Hi Tomas I appreciate your advice. I want to d ...Show All

  Hi Folks, I am using the Well-enabled Service template.
