• Re: Debate: Do We Really Need Three Layer Architecture?

  There are a few benefits of implementing layering for separation of concerns I have not really seen mentioned, yet. Testability - We are adopting test-driven development. Logical separation on all levels, whether it is a layer or the assemblies within a given layer, make it easier to leverage unit testing. Similar tests live in close proximity to each other, setup and teardown methods often are highly reusable, and working within defined parcels of the code keep development on task - often through

• Re: What Third Party Tool, Auto creates Public Properties from your Private Properties?

  I believe that you are referring to JetBrains ReSharper - specifically some of the Code Generation features. Absolutely awesome tool. Highly recommended.

• Re: How to migrate a website to ASP.NET 3.5?

  That is definitely strange. Can you create a new web site project (targeting the 3.5 Framework) and see if it works with the default page, right out of the box? If so, I would recommend using that web.config as your base configuration for your site, and add any other changes to it that are in your old one - limited to things in <appsetttings /> or any custom configuration sections you might have created. In the event that you still have a problem after doing this, we could logically assume

• Re: How to migrate a website to ASP.NET 3.5?

  I don't know if you are experiencing the same problem that I had when we had first migrated, but I was missing the <system.codedom /> element in the web.config. Changing the target Framework did not add this in, and I had to add it manually. It took a bit of hunting before finally figuring it out. < system.codedom > < compilers > < compiler language= "c#;cs;csharp" extension= ".cs" type= "Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider,System, Version=2.0.0.0

• Re: Is there an advantage to using C# instead of VB?

  I use both, pretty much daily. We are currently getting ready to begin on a fairly good sized C# project, although most of the team has been working on VB for the last few years as a primary language. I look at it this way, it is part perception and part marketability. There are nuances/features in each language that the other does not have - I know that I miss XML Literals while I am in C#, for example. By and large, I see it as being a lot easier to get a job as a C# developer and I also see that

  [quote user="haighis"] Check out an example of this in Rob Conery's series called the MVC Storefront: http://blog.wekeroad.com/mvc-storefront/ [/quote] Thank you very much for the link. I am pulling these down to watch on my Zune during my commute as we speak.

• Models in a DDD World

  We are looking at ASP.NET MVC for a future project. In the test projects that I have worked with, I am very excited by the potential and the paradigm shift that this brings by having a choice in having a choice other than Web Forms. I was wondering if anyone else has any thoughts about how to incorporate a DDD (domain driven design) philosophy with ASP.NET MVC? Specifically, our "models" would already exist by the time we get to the point of implementation of the presentation layer - or

• Re: Dynamic Plugin Architecture Concerns

  At one point, I had tried what you suggested. The problem was that I could create an instance of the control by creating an instance of the Assembly by directly loading it, but it would never be rendered on the page and the controls events never where hooked up, despite being added to the control collection of a placeholder. LoadControl appears to be doing a bit more behind the scenes to ensure that the ASCX gets hooked up, and is working for me now. Really, my main concern is managing these controls

• Dynamic Plugin Architecture Concerns

  I am currently designing a CMS application (seems like a common task, nowadays). As I am working on the design, I have been throwing together little proof of concept "mini-sites" to help refine ideas. Dynamic plugins have become a thorn in my side, as of late. The theory is that the application core can be deployed and running while third party plugins can be installed through an administrative interface. Basic information about the components, which might be site templates, widgets, etc. are stored
