  For those of you who have worked on medium to large sized projects, or anyone who has an opinion , I would like to know what types of logic an application needs in the business layer.

• Dr Clocker the best orm for .net?

  I would like to know your favorites, i am looking for a free one and with caching capabilities. We evaluated a series of ORM tools, and ended up with Codus http://www.adapdev.com/codus/index.aspx It's based on NVelocity, a template based code generator.  We chose Codus because it matched our thinking best, which is more in the domain camp than in the table driven camp.  NHibernate and LLBLGen Pro was also serious candidate ...Show All

• Nuno Alves catch and rethrow is expensive, log is far far more expensive!

  log will make a 5 times degradation in performance! so if your call depth is 5, and you log at every layer, then that single failed call will take 5**5 more time to complete! not to say the big mess made by all the repeated log record for the same single failure. so in the end, log will kill you instead of save you. :-) John Xie SourceCompanion, the best in class collabration tool built on vss i think i was replying in ...Show All

It handles persisting plain .NET objects to and from an underlying relational database. Given an XML description of your entities and relationships, NHibernate automatically generates SQL for loading and storing the objects. ...Show All

• adamlane IntraLayer Communication

  Typically when passing data between various layers normally most recommend use of custom entities because it allows the developer to write code which gives finer control to the data. The other means could be usage of dataset, typed dataset.
