Migrating 6.0 To Modern Architecture?
Aug 10, 2010We have a small visual basic 6.0 application with an Access DB that we would like to migrate to modern code and architecture. I am not technical, but I am believe this would be something like a .net framework with a SQL Server DB.What I am wondering about, is there any way to covert this code to a modern language/architecture? If so, what is the easist modern language to migrate to?

Nov 1, 2009When trying to determine the Architecture of an OS, I ran across IntPtr.From reading the documentation, I saw this: Quote:The IntPtr type is designed to be an integer whose size is platform-specific. That is, an instance of this type is expected to be 32-bits on 32-bit hardware and operating systems, and 64-bits on 64-bit hardware and operating systems.
Since the size of IntPtr is intended to be the size of the architecture, would it be feasible to test the size and determine the OS by that? Or is there a better way?
I was thinking there might also be a way via WMI, but I don't want to use that for compatibility reason.
A Plugin Architecture In .net And Handling Events
Nov 5, 2009I need to write an app that that will iterate over our database, and perform various anaylsis on each record. In order to do this (partially for the learning exercise in creating plugin support) I want to use a Plugin model.
Currently, I have a simple Interface in my main app, which plugins can Implement. My app then loads all DLL's in a folder looking for ones implementing the Interface.
As you can see in the pseudo-code below, I have to keep performing a loop through all loaded plugins calling the process methods.
Sub ProcessData()
For Each Record In MyDataSet
For Each Plugin In MyPluginCollection

View 1 RepliesC# - Architecture: Maintaining Order History
Aug 12, 2009I am working on a new domain model for an application that will have order processing for items built in (well, too keep it simple for this question anyway). I have a class "VendorItem" that represents items that can be ordered. Originally the "Order" class was going to have a list of VendorItems associated with it, but I have come across problems with it so far.
Let's say that the system has been creating orders for some time just fine. One day a user comes along and decides that a vendoritem has changed price or some other detail like packaging size. I wouldn't want the previous orders to be affected by such change. At first wash I was going to make a "OrderLine" class that is basically a copy of the "VendorItem" class, but that just feels (smells?) wrong in the OO sense. Is there a better way to refactor this so I don't have copies of classes and information in the domain model?
Entity Framework, 3-tier Architecture?
May 23, 2011I have a large application that has always existed all in a single .NET project up until recently (200,000+ LOC). I'm finally getting to the point where I can fix this. I just started using the Entity Framework (4.1 using code first) and I believe this is a good time to start seperating my logic.
What I did is I separated my application into three subprojects:UI - Windows forms project Business - The POCO classes Data - Legacy data access code AND the DBContext class to connect my POCO classes to the database. I also have a Windows service project and will soon have a WCF project, but those concern me less.
The problem is that in this plan, the data layer depends on the business layer and vice versa causing a circular reference error. There is no way around this.So, my idea is to move my POCO classes into the data layer removing all business logic first (just keeping the database fields, basically). Then, I will inherit from those classes in the business layer adding back all the business rules. Then my data access layer will not rely on any other project, the business layer will rely just on the data access layer, and the interface layer will rely on both for now but eventually only on the business layer.
Does anyone see any problems with this, or a better way of doing things given my current circumstances?

Jul 20, 2011I need help in understanding this architecture. The person who wrote it is long gone and I'm stuck to figure it out. We are creating an object in some code from some random workflow in the web application (unimportant for my question). The object is being instantiated from a class found in a Designer.vb file. I couldn't initially see the file until I clicked the "show all files" in Solution Explorer in Visual Studio. There are 3 files linked together.. a *.xsd file, a *.Designer.vb file and a *.xsx file. The *.Designer.vb file looks to be auto-generated.
Goal:Get dbo.note.text from the dbo.note table column and place it in the dbo.exportnote.text column. I just don't understand how it's connecting to the database and getting the data from the dbo.note.text field. I want to make the query more specific (possibly put a where clause on it). But really I just want to understand how it's communicating with the database. Most of the code uses stored procedures. So I'm confused on the architecture. What would be really cool is if you can explain how this code was autogenerated. It appears that the *.xsd file is an XML file when I "View in Browser" from the Solution Explorer.Code to instantiate object of designer class:

View 5 RepliesArchitecture For Converting Flat File To XML Format?
Oct 23, 2009I am in process of designing an architecture for an application. Following is the high level requirement.
1. The basic requirement is to convert a flat file into XML
2. The input flat file can have various formats, the delimiters, the data positions may vary.
3. The output XML format is predefined. There is a specification defined in a word format, which I think I need to define it as an XSL or XSD.
I am planning to follow some design pattern. Not decided yet. The architecture should be flexible to extend the input file formats and accommodate any changes in output specification.

View 1 RepliesStable Plugins Architecture Using An Appdomain Per Plugin?
Jun 22, 2010how to create a stable plugin architecture. Stable because I plan on opening up plugin creation to the public but I dont want a sloppy coded plugin to take down my whole application.
So I thought of using an AppDomain per plugin and I did a little seaching. But it seems that even using a temp AppDomain to load plugins and then unloading it once all assemblies have been inspected raises complexity allot and I was planing on using an AppDomain per plugin.
I feel the gained stability (if there is any at all) may be raising the complexity so much the app will never be done..
Is there another way to both create a stable application and at the same time making it extensible?
I cases where the host calls a defined function via say IPluginInterface I guess I can pack a whole lot of try catch blocks around that call but what if a plugin insisted of a timed routine that would run continously without being invoked from the host other that a starting call to StartPluginService or something like that?
If I include a plugin like that in the default AppDomain and it blows up I sure will blow my own foot off right?

View 2 Replies.net - Handling Different DbType Enums In Database-Agnostic Architecture?
Apr 17, 2012Here's my current set-up:
Public Interface IDatabase
Function CreateParameter(name as String, dbType as <dbTypeEnumeration>)
End Interface
[Code]....
The problem here is what exactly is dbTypeEnumeration. In the example above, it's simply a placeholder to what my problem is. Since we use both Oracle and SQL Server databases, the DbTypes are different depending on the database being used. For Oracle, the OracleClient object has its own OracleDbType enumeration with types. SQL Server also has its own enumeration.
My question is: is it possible to show those database-specific enumerations depending on which repository is injected into the DatabaseService constructor? If not, what's the best way to go about this? I want to separate the two databases, share logic, and allow for future development, ala the interface as a code contract for that development.

View 2 RepliesIs This Workaround/architecture Correct Using Classes (complex Properties)?
Feb 15, 2012what's a Class, and Object, a Method, a property and thins like that, but I have this doubt:Let's supppose I have a class "Laundry" this class has (just for this example) 3 propierties:
1.- laundryID
2.- Name
3.- Washers
Id and Name are "primitive" types or simple types (integer and string), but Washers, represent a list of object of type "Washer", that has 3 properties:
1.- washerID
2.- laundryID
3.- capacity
4.- brand
All of them (for this example) simple/primitives types (integer,string,string).So this my dilemma, it is correct to have a constructor like this (VB .net)
public sub new(ByVal laundryID as integer)
'' Here I'll query for the data of the Laundry on DB
'' After that I will query for every washer that belongs to this laundry
[code]....
And inside of that constructor query for all the washers that belongs to the laundry with id=laundryID parameter, and create objects of type "Washer" and add them to the list of Laundry ?I'm not sure If I explain myself, any comment I'll be really grateful, in less words, what's the correct approach (or good practices) to work with class/objects that has properties which are complex (other class/objects).I usually work with ADO.net probably ADO/LINQ/Entity solve this thins in an transparent way, but if they do it I don't really know it.
Note: I'm familiar with VB.net, C#, PHP, so if you prefer explain/help me using examples with its syntax, it's ok

.net - Plugin Architecture - Make An MDI Parent Form Aware Of Children In DLLs
Jan 25, 2010I'm experimenting with a plugin architecture for my company's internal business system. I have managed to read all .DLLs in a Plugin folder which implement a specific interface. What I am trying to figure out is the best method of communication between the "host" MDI parent application and forms that will be in the .DLLs which I intend to make MDI children.
Currently, I am returning just ToolStripMenuItem objects from the .DLLs to add to the MDI Parent. I've also tested that events wired in the .DLLs to the ToolStripMenuItems do propagate to the code in the .DLLs. I've also managed to return a Form object via the interface and open that form, as the Plugin folder is being "scanned".
However, I am not clear how I would make these forms MDI children. Also, any other forms living in the .DLLs will also have to be MDI children. I created a VS 2008 Addin project just to see what's going on, and it seems that the Addin accepts an Application object on which it adds to the ToolStripMenuItems and does other operations. The code to build the menu inside the .DLL. This is opposite of what I have done so far, where the MDI requests a ToolStripMenuItem from each .DLL and adds the returned object to its own menu.
Would designing my plugin architecture to accept an application object in the same manner the only way I could get forms to open as an MDI child? Am I asking for other, currently unknown to me, headaches by NOT passing in the application object to the .DLL?

Architecture - Apply The Correct Data From The GUI To The Parameters For The Rule And Execute The Rule
Apr 6, 2011I have a very simple Business Rules Engine that has only three methods. One gets all the rules for the current operation, one will retrieve a list of parameters for the rules, the last applies the rules. The rules are stored in the database as user defined functions using parameters. The client will call the BRE pass in the operation and a Lot Number and the BRE checks for any rules that apply to this operation for this Lot. The client gets a list of rules that apply (the names of the corresponding UDF's in the database) and at which step in the operation the rule applies. When the material gets to a step that has a rule, it calls BRE to get parameters for the UDF for that operation, fills in the parameters with data contained in the GUI and calls the BRE to apply the rule with this lot's specific data. Multiple lots can share the same rule that is why there are parameters for the UDF. This all works well. However, this is assuming we have a set number of rules for each lot at each operation. If the lot needs a new rule applied at this operation we have to add a new rule and corresponding UDF into the BRE database. This is not a problem, the client will now see two rules, however, it only knows how to apply the parameters for the first rule, and there is no code for applying the parameters for the second rule.
For example: Rule 1 states that only the same Lot number items can be put into a carton. So the UDF expects one parameter called LotID and one parameter called Carton ID. It runs the rule (UDF) with these parameters and checks to ensure the lots match. Now the Lot requires a second rule: Only 25 items can be packed in the carton. We create a new rule and corresponding UDF, but this rule has the CartonID and a quantity associated with it.
The GUI can handle Rule 1 because it knows how to apply the correct data from the GUI to the parameters for the Rule and execute the rule, so LotID from the GUI = LotID in the parameter name in the UDF and CartonID from the GUI = CartonID parameter name in the UDF. Now there is a new rule, the GUI sees this new rule, gets the parameters, but has no way to applying the quantity to the new parameter to execute the rule without having to change the GUI. We don't expect there to be many rule changes, however, when they do occur we don't want to have to recompile the GUI every time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a class that could determine the how to apply set the correct parameters? We have thought about a table in a database that maps the parameter names in the UDF with parameter names in the GUI so when we add a new UDF we update the table with the corresponding data from the GUI. That could work but may get cumbersome and would require us to make sure that, that table is kept current. Another suggestion was to name the parameters in the UDF the same as the parameters in the GUI, but this too, would require us to maintain the names in two locations.
