Due to a discussion in another thread , I am starting to use business object in an 3-Tiered windows app. As a starting point, I am trying to build objects/classes on a table from my database.
The database table has the following columns:
ID
TypeID
Reference

I need to generate a table from a List(Of Students). My Student class has properties for AcademicYear, TeachingSet, Surname and Forenames, is sorted in that order and also properties for ID and start date. The table should nest TeachingSets within AcademicYears and then the students within the TeachingSets, as shown in the table I've mocked up at http:[url]...
Using a repeater I get
08-10 students B74394 Mzejb Bsppn
08-10 students B74395 Lbuifsjof Bvti
08-10 students C68924 Epoob Cmpblf[code].....
using an object-binding I have a an object representing "Employee". The employee has an ID-property. The ID of the employee must be unique.
My validation of the entered data is handled in the property set part of the object. In general, I validate criteria belonging to the object to validate only (eg numeric range of the ID, if it's value is not empy, ...). But in this case I need to know all ID's from the other employees. My tried this:
''' <summary>
''' Set EmployeeID
''' </summary>

The issue I'm currently having is mapping multiple GUI fields to object properties (i.e. Presentation layer to Business Logic Layer mapping). To be more specific, this is in VB.Net 2.0 WinForms. The nature of the solution requires us to have 4 columns which exhibit the same type of behavior on our GUI - each column consisting of 11 textboxes (we'll just use this small sample size, as the problem extends beyond 11 textboxes).
What I am currently doing is setting the tag of each textbox in all four columns to a value like so:
Textbox1.tag = "name"
Textbox2.tag = "type"
Textbox3.tag = "speed"
[Code]...
As you can see this can get very bad, rather quickly. Currently we're setting 43 some odd properties that can be mapped to -- thus that select statement is extremely long -- many of which are embedded in multiple methods to try and attempt DRY (I've watered down the code to essentially a conceptual implementation).
Question is: how can I refactor this? I've attempted using a dictionaries/hashes to a certain extent, but it either became overly complex, or just plain didn't make an implementation sense as it convoluted the problem even more.
I have a custom business object called Customer and a Form1 with a BindingSource1, NumericUpDown1, TextBox1 and ComboBox1 and the attached code. Setting break points in the Property Sets shows that the Set for the ComboBox never fires at all even though the Set for the NumericUpDown and TextBox fire like crazy. [code]
View 1 RepliesI have completed a simple database for a project. Only 6tables. Of the 6, one is a "lookup" table.There is one "master" table that is the driver for the system. It is referenced as a foreign key by the other four tables.Give that this step is completed. What is the FASTEST, EASIEST way to create POCOs/BizObjects that can load load the data and the child data.Here are my CAVEATS.
I don't want to spend more than 30-60 minutes learning how? There is very little biz logic needed in the POCOs. They will pretty much load data. Don't even really need to write back data.I already know CSLA (up to version 3) but I feel that is overkill for this little project.Nevertheless, I would love it if it ROOT objects could have collection classes that contain the CHILD objects as in CSLA...but again, without using CSLA.
I'm developing a business model for an application where I am representing physical entities. The hierarchy created from this is neat, but as I'm doing this, I'm beginning to think about things like, what properties should be included in one that may already be apart of another? Or what if some properties are expected to be in one object, but another object needs to return that value, how does it communicate that request through the hierarchical chain? And what is the best practice for this design?
[Code]...
But then I got to thinking, what if I have a ConnectionPoint entity and I want it to return which Panel it has? Should it have it's own Panel association as well? Or should there be a method/pattern for communicating the request up the chain? And again... what's typical best practice?
I am attempting to create an application for my (very) small businessRight now I am trying to create an "Add a Customer" formI know VERY LITTLE about MySql so I thought I would save the text into a textfile.. I then realized I do not know how to save multiple text box in a text file (I only knew how to save one text box in a text file)
View 14 RepliesIn a vb .net winforms app I am trying out something for "wide and shallow" children of a record. I use strongly typed business objects ( Strataframe ).My plan is to have a number of "child tables" collected in a dataset I drop on the form. they have no correspondence in persisted data, so the dataset is untyped and I am creating the schema through the property sheet for the tables. Each table is the datasource for a datagridview in the interface.
In my proof of concept sample, My main businessobject (CustomerBO) interacts with a SQL Server 2008 table with fields - pk, name, - and a third column which is currently varchar(max) as I considered XML but could just as easily be varbinary(max) if that works better for holding the serialized dataset.
bo.bigfield will be the strongly typed prop I want to hold the byte() array or XML or whatever that represents the dataset for that record.So, the question in a nutshell - how do I convert a dataset to a single datum and reproduce the dataset from that datum. This is my first foray into datasets, datagridviews as well so if there are better ways to accomplish any of that I'm listening.
I was just wondering if it is possible to apply an attribute to a property within a business object (MyBusinessObject) such that after the DataSource of a grid is set to a List(Of MyBusinessObject), the visible property of the column will automatically be false. For example:
myGrid.DataSource = New List(Of MyBusinessObject)
Public Class MyBusinessObject

I'd like to have an updateable DataGridView that's bound to a database-driven business object. It needs to handle all aspects of CRUD and be sortable and filterable as well.
Most of them simply bind to an object (non-database, manually filled) and do not allow you to Add, Delete, and Edit records. Furthermore, they basically never show how you would perform sorting and filtering.
I think the biggest things I'm not understanding are:
1) How do you make the DataGridView perform additions, deletions, and edits on an object.
2) How do you program your object to handle additions, deletions, and edits. Do you just need methods that use ADO.Net, NHibernate, or Linq to SQL (or any other CRUD handling mechanism)?
3) How to make this filterable and sortable.
Is this overly difficult to do or why am I have so much trouble finding examples for this?

View 2 RepliesI am developing an IT Asset Tracking application using VB 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Will I need to create classes to represent objects such as Computers, Printers, Scanners/Faxes, Contracts, Purchase Orders etc or are there any other approaches.For example, if I am correct, I will have a class called Computer and its properties will include Make,Model,CPU,Hard Disk,Memory etc. Is this the right approach.
Computers can be split up into Desktop PC's, Servers and Notebooks. Would I have to create separate classes for these as well or would they be ok under the Computer class.Once I create an object from the class, how can I use the object to interact with the SQL db.I am a beginner to VB.NET 2005 therefore I am slowly getting to grips with OOP.
I want to create a class is it where I can do...

View 1 RepliesThis is a debate that can never be fulfilled without you. Please come forward and respond.What if we have a client who wants to develop a web enterprise application (based on SAAS architecture) and prefers for C# and not VB.NET based. Argument can be:
1. C# is better suited for developing enterprise application versus VB.NET
2. C# is object oriented versus VB.NET is not
3. Programming in C# is faster than VB.NET
4. Libraries/function blocks in VS.NET is more for C# versus VB.NET
I would request you to help me answer this. I believe this is the type of questions many faces when deciding for which language to go for, both developers and organizations.
I have an application that does complex calculations for members. Each member can have multiple US states linked to their profile. Each state has got different calculations for each course a member completes. As of now I have been performing the calculations in the DB (SQL Server 2008) and then sending data back to app layer where they can see their history and then download a certificate for each course. I have a business logic layer but not a lot happens there. I know this has been asked a lot but where do you think I should perform these calculations: business layer or database? I am going back and forth

does a big business in shirts, especially for groups and teams. They need a project that will calculate the price for individual orders, as well as a summary for all orders.The store employee will enter the orders in an order form that has text boxes for customer name and order number. To specify the shirts, use a text box for the quantity, radio buttons to select the size (small, medium, large, extra large, and XXL), and check boxes to specify a monogram and/or a pocket. Display the shirt price for the current order and the order total in labels.
Include buttons to add a shirt to an order, clear the current item, complete the order, and display the summary of all orders. Do not allow the summary to display if the current order is not complete. Also, disable the text boxes for customer name and order number after an order is started; enable them again when the user clicks on the button to begin a new order. Confirm the operation before clearing the current order.
When the user adds shirts to an order, validate the quantity, which must be greater than zero. If the entry does not pass the validation, do not perform any calculation but display a message box and allow the user to correct the value. Determine the price of the shirts from the radio buttons and check boxes for the monogram and pockets. Multiply the quantity by the price to determine the extended price, and add to the order total and summary total
The assignment also requires a pop up message "Daily Summary" with total shirts sold, total sales, and average sale per customer.So far I have this as my code but I am not sure what needs to change in order to display the correct total shirts- mine only displays the last accepted shirt order.

I am writing a program that takes a shipdate and generates a timeline of deadlines for a manufacturing job by working backwards from the shipdate. I hav no problem handling weekends. However, some holidays are giving me problems. For holidays that don't have a set date (Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Memorial Day...) what is the best way to determine the date they fall on? Most of the examples I have seen use an array of dates (either from a file or hard coded) for these holidays. Is there a way to do this tha won't require someon to generate a list every year for these holidays?
