I have recently been doing a bit of investigation into the different types of Model View architectures, and need to decide which one to pursue for future in-house development. As I'm currently working in a Microsoft shop that has ASP.NET skills, it seems my options are between ASP.NET MVC and WCSF (Monorail is probably out of the as it w...
I'm running WCSF Feb 2008 along with Enterprise Library 3.1 and noticed that randomly I get the "fun" Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, Public ... The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. Usually this wouldn't be wort...
I installed Web Client Software Factory February 2008 release on Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition (without SP1). When I first installed that, I tried out the software factory as I've never used one before and it worked fine. That was two months ago. Recently I needed to learn how to use the software factory and when I ...
I'm new to the WCSF and can't seem to find anything related to "building a custom template" for creating the views/presenters/code-behinds/etc with your own flavor ... Can anyone point me in the right direction? ...
I have the need to build lots of sites that are very similar, but not exactly the same, using ASP.NET 2.0. I'm trying to find the best way to make generating these sites quick and easy.

In an asp.net application, I would like to combine the use of the Webclient Software Factory (WCSF), and its associated Model View Presenter pattern (MVP), with Page Method, that is static methods on the .aspx Views marked with the [WebMethod] attribute. However, static methods on the aspx page would seem to break the Model View Presen...
We are in the process of building a web site which would display news headlines and news. It would be a public site to start with but going forward might include portal functionalities like personalized web pages.

Hi In my database, I have a composite unique key constraint (CustomerId, Name) on a entity. I want to test if the unique constraint is upheld before submitting changes to the database. The user can customize the Name attribute on the entity, so I would like to make a custom validator that validates the name property, but while doing it,...
In wcsf, it is possible to make a business module with a separate class library just for interfaces, if I tick the relevant box/boxes. What is the point in having a separate class library just for interfaces? Wouldn't this add unnecessary bloat to my project and create a high coupling between two class libraries? What would be wrong wit...
I have a 3-man .NET web shop. Over the years we've developed a number of tools for content management, blogging, e-commerce, social network, and so on. We've never really modularized the software, though; so that porting functionality from one site to another is labor-intensive (we typically just copy and paste bits of code and other ass...
Web Client Software Factory(WCSF) and Smart Client Software Factory(SCSF) both use MVP pattern. M-Model can be shared. V-View has to be different as both are on different platform(Desktop/Web). I want to know can the P-Presenter can be shared or can I be exactly same for both and how. ...
I am still trying to get my brain wrapped around MVP. What should I use the controller class for? Is that where I access data resources? ...
Hello, it is me again...too much question, I know, but in this I'm kind of a newbie... Well, I have a problem creating test for a project that is built using Microsoft's Web Client Software Factory: I get a error that says: Unable to set TestContext property for the class MyClassName. Error: System.ArgumentException: Object of typ...

I've been using asp.net mvc and I like the facility given by UpdateModel & TryUpdateModel. Now I'm developing an application using the Web Client Software Factory. Are there any model binders I can use with this? ...
Hi I have past experience with WCSF but no experience with WSSF We built a project on .NET 3.5 with WCSF and standard web forms (not asp.net mvc). The requirement for the next version is to provide web service interfaces for the 3rd parties to integrate with out product. How do you think is WSSF can be useful in this case, can it sh...

WCSF is a software factory recommended from microsoft for developing web based applications. I feel that some thought is required on below before commiting to a software foctory: What is it? What are different features of it? How it will improve the productivity? How it will help in delivering on time with quality? Are there any limita...
The WCSF uses Model View Presenter (MVP) pattern for organizing/structuring the source code for a website. When MVP pattern is used correctly, it provides seperation of concerns, unit testability of presenter logic, etc. How to make WCSF and CSLA framework play well (work together) for achieving unit testability of the presenter logic. ...
