| Method of passing data between logical tiers : DataSet vs DataReader (2 replies) |
| ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list |
| Hi I've just finished reading Wrox relatively new book, ASP.NET Problem Design Solution, and had some question on architecture decision made by the authors. They used DataSet to pass data around the Data Access Tier, which are just code to run stored procs and get values etc, and business logic which are code that wraps those data access tier classes. I was thinking though, it is very unlikely tha... |

Therefore the R... |

| ASPFriends.com 'aspngarchitecture' list |
| All, Some time ago, in the neighborhood of 8 months ago captured a pattern that is similar to the ECC pattern but a lot simpler and more .NET friendly while being every bit as robust.
