ruben.a83 Architect personas: Tool Architect
I fully agree with Simon in his post on Architect Personas: http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2005/12/12/503001.aspx But, after some very interesting discussion at IASA, there could be one very important Persona missing. Enterprise architectures are an emerging approach for capturing complex knowledge about organizations and technology. Different enterprise architecture tools exist to help architects model, store, manage and sha ...Show All
TheUnknownDeveloperNamedMike Software architecture... I'm stuck!

I have a list of detailed , categorized requirements and I think the next logical step would be to work on the architecture of the project at a highest possible level o ...Show All

David T92166 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
cmazur Message vs Service.
EmailValidation message vs EmailValidation Service. SOA is mostly about services and messages. Rather than create a number of services with different names would it be recomended if we create 1 generic service and have it request/reply messages. For ex: EmailValidation service. Instead of creating a service for email validation, create a validationService and have it process all the validation messages for the application. Just wondering how ...Show All

Xtek Are interfaces for behavioral overloading only?
This question comes from the new approaches being suggested when designing services with WCF and even ASMX 2. The approach is one that uses interfaces (or abstract classes) to focus on the method signatures and avoid diving directly into implementation when desiging services. This looks like a half-way contract first approach that is meant to help developers focus on what makes a service reusable (strong typing, message orientation, explicit met ...Show All
SpicyMikie Any books to recommend?
The books that work well with .Net 2.0 for enterprise patterns I have read the first one ( Enterprise Solution Patterns Using Microsoft .Net: Version 2.0 ) and found it very eclectic. It was not really about patterns and practices, rather about the authors' experience in different fields. There is an exteremely good book on Enterprise Patterns by Martin Fowler (nothing .NET specific though): htt ...Show All
tjcbs design Reflection.Emit question.
I have an interesting problem. I am developping an ASP.net application, but the question is more related to architecture. The thing is, I need to present summary information per year. It's not the exact case, but imagine that I need to present total sales by product and year, with one column for the product name and one for each year. So something like Product 1998 1999 2000 prod.
