ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Well, I've posted this in aspngdata and DOTNET but nobody bit, so you lot are a last resort :o) I've got a class called PersistentObject, which has a Save() method. If I call Save() from a transaction enabled ASP.Net page, and the save fails due to some database conflict or error, the database inserts/updates are rolled back as expected. However, inside the Save method, a flag (IsPersisted) is set...

Centralized User Control Setup code (3 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
We have a web application that contains multiple web forms. Each of the web forms use the same custom menu user control. This menu control requires about 15 lines of setup configuration code in the code behind module of the web forms. This represents redundant code and when a menu configuration changes, requires each of the web forms to be updated. What would be a good centralized architecture for...
Where di I begin? (4 replies)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Well, I have studied quite a bit of online resources and have consumed 11 visual basic.net & asp.net books. I understand reasonably well the code behind, web.config configuration, coding, UML planning and SQL (at least enough to begin my own project) My question: Where do I begin? Could an experienced developer either point me to a resource or share with me the application development process (min...
Scalability options and best practices in .Net/ASP.Net (4 replies)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Greetings, In the traditional DNA architecture, Microsoft has always been a proponent of Scaling Out on the Web Tier and the Business Logic Tier and Scaling Up on the Database Tier. The specific technologies used to scale out the web tier are either NLB (Software Based and built into W2K Advanced Server and above) or Hardware Load Balancers. On the Business Logic/App Server/COM Tier you scale out ...

Stateless pages or persistent datasets? (5 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Is there any good articles or reference material about pro's and con's of each architecture type below? 1)Pulling data directly from the db each and every page request and destroying the connection/dataset on page unload. 2)Storing a connection/dataset in a cache object and keeping it in memory across page transitions Some immediate topics that come to mind are ADO connection pooling. Is it still ...
GUIDS v. IDENTITY COLUMNS (17 replies)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Does anyone have input on the subject of GUIDS and IDENTITY COLUMNS as primary keys in tables. GUIDS give me the flexibility I want since I use datasets extensively and have many to many to many relationships. I want to be able to add new rows (children) without having to go to the database and get a identity value for the parent row. I know datasets support identity columns but in reality the val...
User controls versus classic includes (7 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
I have observed that in the "IBuySpy" application, the developers used custom user controls for including the menu, header, footer, etc., e.g.: %@ Register TagPrefix 3D"IBuySpy" TagName 3D"Header" Src 3D" Header.ascx" % 20 what used to be done in classic .asp with includes. 20 Now I am puzzled, since you can still employ includes in ASP.NET... What are pros and cons or using one over the other and...
subclassing pages (3 replies)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
I'm trying to subclass certain .aspx pages in my application, so that they extend from a custom class, SecurePage, instead of System.Web.UI.Page. (SecurePage extends System.Web.UI.Page). I get the desired functionality at run time, however, when I want to modify the HTML in Visual Studio, I get an error indicating that the page cannot be loaded because of "Type Abstract". (the error message really...
Calling a Stored Procedure (5 replies)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Copied from [aspngdata] to [aspngarchitecture] by G. Andrew Duthie (Moderator) graymad@att.net I have a question about executing stored procedure. Because of the extra coding required to use SqlCommand.CommandType, SqlCommand.Parameters, and SqlCommand.ParameterDirection, we came up with a custom Sproc class. Basically in the end we just generate a SQL string and pass it along with an ExecuteQuery...
Custom state management, converting my ASP implementation to .NET (4 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
In my existing classic ASP web app, I use a two fold technique to track users and visits. When ANY page loads, I do the following: Check for a cookie from my site... a. if no cookie, try to create one on users computer 1. if successful, record GUID value of cookie into SQL DB 2. if unsuccesful, create a new GUID into the querystring to track the user as they click through the site, recording click...
Disconnected Recordset and Cache? (4 replies)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Built a routine to allow users to dynamically create Select Statements and view them in a data grid. Behind the scenes, I'm creating a disconnected dataset so users are able to page, sort.... without making additional hits on the database. My question is how should I hold the recordset between requests? Originally I used the Cache, which worked great, but only if one user was on the site. I guess ...

Thoughts on cacheing (3 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
Can someone have a look at this and pick holes in it : ) 1) Static Create() method is called on class X, and an id is passed in. 2) X creates an instance O, which loads its data from the database (using the id), and stores it in a DataRow D. 3) D is stored in ASP.Net Cache, keyed by O's id. 4) Next time Create() is called, X checks the Cache to see if D is already loaded. If so, uses cached D to c...
Test-first (5 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
RE: [aspngarchitecture] Re: Data access Not strictly related to architecture, but I think still more appropriate to this list than any of the others. Kent Beck has written a short piece on test first programming. http://computer.org/software/homepage/2001/05Design/index.htm I'm curious if anyone has experiences of doing test first with ASP.NET and the likes of DataGrids. My head hurts just thinkin...
Stateless Design Question (4 replies, VIP)
ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list
I have been building Classic ASP apps for a while now. Mostly monolithic applications where the ASP page talks directly to the database. Then I started learning how to build custom COM components using VB6. So I studied the Fitch and Mather examples on MSDN and learned a bit about 3 tier architecture. Now I have moved into ASP.NET and VB.NET. I am currently in the middle of reading an excellent bo...
