Wpf - Effective Books For Learning The Intricacies Of Business Application Development?
May 24, 2010
I am a self taught "developer".I use the term loosely because I only know enough to make myself dangerous. I have no theory background, and I only pick up things to get this little tool to work or make that control do what I want.
That said, I am looking for some reading material that explains some of the theory behind application development especially from a business standpoint. Really I need to understand what all of these terms that float around really talk about. Business Logic Layer, UI abstraction level and all that. Anyone got a reading list that they feel helped them understand this stuff? I know how to code stuff up so that it works. It is not pretty mostly because I don't know the elegant way of doing it, and it is not planned out very well (I also don't know how to plan an application).

I'm creating a rather large and complex application and was wondering if any of you had any recommendations for good books on application and project architecture. Multi-user - database - heavy interaction with windows api for shell extensions.Not the standard maintenance or reporting app I usually write!

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>

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.

I am looking for a VB.net book that strings me through the entire development process of an application (Prefered: WPF ,LINQ ,ADO). I have read a few books on OOP and VB.net with small code samples demonstrating the specific idea of the chapter.I think it would be really helpful if there was a book that programmed an entire application that uses a sql database (Northwind , Adventureworks).

I want to be able to drag data from one DGV to another. When the drag is completed, I want the backcolor of the cell that the data was taken from to change to red. I will add a "trash" icon that will accept a drag and drop from the 2nd DGV to remove the data from its respective cell. Finally, when the cell is trashed, the corresponding cell from the first DGV will return to it's normal backcolor. My application is going to be used to schedule clients with employees for a home health care business. The reason I want all of this is so the user has a visual aid to show them that times have been used already to avoid double staffing. i also have to figure out how make all of this unique to each client when flipping through the DGV/binding source.

I am working on a VB6 project and my organization is planning to upgrade the technology from VB6 to VB.net. As I am new to VB.net windows application development, I dont know where to start and what to include in code. I have read that VB.net windows applications code should have AssemblyInfo, CultureInfo, Windows Security authentication etc. But I have still not found any article, code sample or VB.net windows application sample that could give me a complete list of features that an organization level VB.net windows application must have.

I'm developing a game and I'm there a lot of things that change after a few minutes, so I created a New Game button where I use Application.Restart() to clean everything and get a new fresh game, but the problem is that this exits the game and starts a new one. What I want to do is to restart a game, but without the players noticing that the game exits. How do I do this?

I am at the stage of planning the application which will conect to a Ms SQl database, and process some data to Excel files.The problem is, that i would like to make a base pure application, without any functionality, and then add functionalities by adding some external files with code to program folder.I`not sure if what i just wrote is clear. To simplify:I would like to have an application which connects to a database, but let`s say when after 1 year, i will be in need of some more functionality, i woun`t have to change the code of whole application, but can just add a new file, and when I run the application there will be one more function to be chosen from the list.

I want to design a application which can support two different types of databases same time e.g; when we install, it will ask which db it has to support and based on initial selection it should work with any db without changing anything in the application.In short it has to be developed keeping in mind that user may have either MS SQL or MySQL. It should support both.

I found what seems to be an easy and effective way to reduce the memory consumption of my vb.net app. What I need to know is how "correct" or "proper" is the method I'm using for my application and what exactly is going on behind the scenes that I should worry about? I want to release memory every time a form closes. Here is how I reduce the required memory of my program:[code...]

I've not really got a lot of experience making any games, but currently I've only made small basic games which involve, moving picture boxes with Case (KeyDown) events and timers etc, I've noticed a few problems such as, flickering and jittery movements as it += on to Top or left. Especially when I try it on other computers it varies and is sometimes really bad. I've heard from my lecturer that you can use other things in VB.NET such as GDI+ or GDK or whatever, I'm not really sure, but would someone be able to explain to me what other ones there are for VB.NET or the best method for me to do to move on to more effective ways of creating a graphical interface.
