• CondonG O/R mapper requirements for domain layer

  I have heard a lot of talk about disadvantages of various ORM solutions.  Mainly that some use attributes and reflection, making your domain layer peppered with hints about how objects are serialized and complaints (probably false) that reflection is slow.  Also, some frameworks don't support caching of domain objects.  Some require you to derive all your domain classes from a base class provided by the mapper.  Others can't ...Show All

• Peteg "Unique ID" server for multi-server app

  I'm building an ASP.NET app that I hope will scale to need multiple servers. For certain objects, I'd like to provide users with an "External ID". This would be either a user entered or randomly generated string, like "Fred's Data" or "q1g52xTK". This external ID would be associated with a GUID, and would allow the user to get at the object without having to know the GUID (such as at log-in). (They will also be a ...Show All

• megrez80 Databinding vs Multi-tier

  I'm a bit confused - see if you can help me out. It seems like microsoft is really big on the multi-tiered approach to development(presentation, business, data), but now, with visual studio 2005, they're also really pushing the new and improved typed dataset for databinding.

• Blastobi VS 2005 and multiple projects.

  I was told by someone that Visual Studio 2005 has moved away from multiple projects in a solution. I don't believe this for a second, but I wanted to see if 1) it really was true and 2) if there is any info I could draw from to counter that argument.
