GUI To Business Object Mapping .Net?
Jun 17, 2009
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.

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>

I am passing a pair of serialized objects into a vb.net webserviceThe first one maps to a known structure, so I am using the structure type in the parameter list of the webservice. The second object may map to one of 6+ structures.A field in the first object will tell me which structure to use for the second object once both objects are passed to the webservice.
a.template = jQuery('#txtTemplate').val();
a.value1 = jQuery('#txtValue1').val();
b.var1 = jQuery('#txtVar1).val();

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]

I 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 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

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?

In 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.

For no apparent reason, I'm getting an exception on this line in my when the table adapter attempts to fill my dataset.
Me.TblFuelTableAdapter.Fill(Me.CCFuelDataSet.tblFuel)
The error reads:
Quote:
System.ArgumentException: No mapping exists from DbType Object to a known SqlDbtype.
This error just came out-of-the-blue. If I 'Preview' the data though the DataSet directly (using the Fill() query), the data returns fine...

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?

This 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.

Using automapper i am mapping my ViewModel to my business object, however i want to map to an existing object instance and only map the properties on my view model. e.g.
ProductModel has id,name,code
ProductBusiness has id,name,code,dateadded
Function Add(ByVal model As ProducModel) As ActionResult
[code]....
i want to somehow pass in the existing business object instance and only map the 3 properties that are on both objects, dateadded should stay the same as it was in the database.

I have a form with a button that says "Open CSV".I want to be able to click that button. Then browse for a .CSV file, and after I select the file, populate a combobox with all of the headers of the .CSV.I would then be mapping these headers to fields in my database, then import the .CSV data into my database.

I have a very long list of points I would like to plot on any state in the US. I would prefer to plot each point with just a dot. All I have is an address that includes the street address, city and state and possibly the zip code. Ideally, I would like to place the resuts in a VB Picture box. I understand there is a Google interface but have found in my research the examples to be lacking exactly what I need.

what options do I have for creating a VB.Net application with a mapping framework; obviously I am not going to write my own. So is there any OFFLINE components free or otherwise that I can use?
Application Background : Basically I have a mobile device that sends its location back to a socket server (I am writing using .Net sockets) every 10 Seconds (possibly longer 10min, not decided). The client (which I will also write and need the map component for) will login to the server and download the latest number of GPS points and simply plot them onto a map surface (thus the maps need to be of street level quality). Although the map database can be updated over the internet, I have to assume the user does not have an internet connection. So using something like Google earth is no good. Initially I need the UK only, but will need the option for Europe and possible the USA later on.

- The connection string, form making SQL commands is easy adjustable.
- The problem is: And how can I change the dataset automatically created form the VB? use it many times, in many forms, and in the application load, I have to read the XML file, and update this dataset.

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

I have a problem with my code. My code is using the fileupload control to browse for a filename when you add a filename it processes it and the code runs fine on when it lives on local host, but when I put the code on our prodution server it cannot find the filenames listed by user.
For example if I use the upload control to browse to B:MISCH IntiveRPTTOFL_3.csv and the code lives on my localhost which know what that file path means it works, but if the code is moved to a production server it may or maynot know what B:/ is or B:/ maybe mapped to something else. Even if I am browsing to a file on my C drive it will work on if the code is on the machine that the C drive is on, but it will not work if the code is on another machine because obviously that file wouldnt be on that C drive.

I have a situation where a class's properties are being exported/imported from an Excel sheet. Each property is in a specific column, so I want to make a mapping between each property and column # (a Dictionary collection would be sufficient). That way I can just loop through each property and/or column in the dictionary when read/writing data (maybe something like Class1.PropertyA = ws.Cells(curRow, Propto ColDictionary(PropertyA???).value). But, you obviously can't treat properties like other value types, so I don't know how I would store a property in a dictionary for this purpose. So could this sort of thing be achieved via reflection, or am I off-track?

I'm developing an application that needs to Map a network drive for a domain user logged into a domain PC from a remote location. I have tried numerous different things with different levels of success but none with the required functionality. - First, I used WMI to create a process that would run Net Use with no luck: Net Use would ask for a user name and password to connect to the share instead of using the User's credentials.- Second I generated a script (wshNetwork) that would be copied to the remote PC and used WMI to once again create a process that would run wscript in command prompt to execute the copied script.
The script would run successfully (as evident by code placed to fill in a text file when the script completed) but the network drive was not added.- Third I created a program that would be copied to the user's PC which would map the drive using Windows Network API. Again, I used WMI to execute the program as a proccess with the results the same as the script. The application would run successfully but the drive was not added.- Fourth, I edited the user's registry to add the drive. This worked, however the mapped drive was not usable through Windows Explorer without a reboot.
Unfortunately, one of the requirements of the application is to avoid rebooting the remote PC.I have arguably had the greatest success with the following:- I used WMI to generate a scheduled task on the remote PC that would run a script (wshNetwork), an application (Win API) or the Net Use command to map the drive. All resulted in the drive being properly mapped and visable through windows explorer with the files accessable. However, the new map would be labeled "Disconnected Network Drive" and the drive could not be removed (error: network connection could not be found) and the driver letter could not be used without rebooting the system. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Unfortunately I can't use wshController to run a remote script because a majority of the PCs on the domain are not configured to use it.
