I'd like to hear your opinions and maybe better suggestions for the following scenario: I have define a custom ActionFilter that does some job and comes out with some value. I would like to use that value in controller actions and in models. Now, I could use TempData to pass this value from the ActionFilter to any controller action met...
Requirements Project should contain 1 main application and some secondary sub applications (which uses the same domain objects, has some shared services, but has some slightly different too - unneeded for main app, therefore - should be separated). There should exist shared search service (probably, in different DLL) over most of the ...
Hey Folks, I'm building a simple 2d game,and I'm wondering if some better coders than I can suggest a good way to design its basic architecture. The game is pretty simple. There are many types of units on the screen which shoot, move, and perform hit detection. The screen zooms in and out, and there is a menu UI bar on the side of the s...

And the converse: "What type of specific development patterns DO NOT support agile development? To be more concise: I'm not looking for "methodologies" or "theory". I'm talking about specific patterns for writing code in the itterative process that is agile. Obviously, some patterns for development are more taylored to Waterfall. Other...
One part of domain-driven design that there doesn't seem to be a lot of detail on, is how and why you should isolate your domain model from your interface. I'm trying to convince my colleagues that this is a good practice, but I don't seem to be making much headway... They use domain entities where ever they please in the presentation a...
Hello and thanks for any assistance. I have a wcf service that I'm trying to properly modularize. I'm interested in finding out if there is a better way or implementing the file and directory structure along with instanciatation, is there a more appropriate way of abstraction that I may be missing? Is this the best approach? especial...
Consider the common layered architecture of: UIService/Application/ControllerDomainPersistancy What should be the types between the Service and the UI layers? Should the return types of the methods in the Service layer be primitives? Can they be objects from the Domain layer? The motivation: We are building a forum system. Somewhere ...
Im currently a senior software engineer at a large, well respected (in our field) software house. Unfortunately I've hit a ceiling. The next logical step in my career is to move from designing individual components to what may be described as system engineering/architecture. The problem is that where I work there is a pretty much fixed ...

Hello, I have a stored procedure that makes very complex joins and returns 1 row of data (LIMIT 1 is used). In my application I then use that data to make some calculations. This way I try to keep business logic out of stored procedures. But now I need to get that data in another stored function to also make some calculations. The reaso...
We are building a solution for document storage and for each document we need to store a lot of extra metadata with it to comply with local regulations, ranging from basic data like title or description to dates of relevant events or disposition and classification rules. I've seen different types of solutions, but none convinces me: T...
We are currently havin a discussion if dataset should go in the data or business layer? My friend thinks all ADO.NET components should go in data layer. For me this does not seem right for the followin reasons: If you create a fat Data Layer Client, it will be much more difficult to for example migrate everything to a different dat...
Hello all, For a couple of years, I've been using the three-tier architecture (Presentation, Logic and Data Layer) to write applications. Usually, I am using tools such as .netTiers to generate the data layer and partially the logic layer. Everything is well defined and I love it. I am now constraint to use LINQ to Entites (it appears...
