As a developer, the .NET framework and Visual Studio present many choices for choosing the right architecture, from placing the data access code directly in the UI through datasets and data source controls, to creating a data access layer that talks to the database, all the way to creating an n-tier architecture approach that consists of multiple layers, and use data-transfer objects to pass data back and forth. If you’ve ever wondered why you should use layers and what the benefits are, this ar...

AJAX is something lots of ASP.NET developers are interested in, but there are a number of AJAX libraries and solutions out there - so which one do you go for? When looking myself, the criteria I used were: * support ASP.NET 2.0 as that's what I'm using, * soak as seamlessly as possible with VS2005, ideally without having to hand-code client-side JavaScript, and * support ASP.NET functionality as closely as possible. Having looked at the various AJAX libraries out there (...

The Standard PHP Library (SPL) is where PHP 5's object-oriented capabilities truly shine. It improves the language in five key ways: iterators, exceptions, array overloading, XML, and file and data handling. It also provides a few other useful items, such as the observer pattern, counting, helper functions for object identification, and iterator processing. Additionally, it offers advanced functionality for autoloading classes and interfaces. This chapter introduces you to this very important li...

XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a fixed page format specification that is a useful alternative to PDF. Just as PDF is a 'cut-down' version of Postscript, XPS is a reduced schema version of XAML specifically for fixed page layout. With XPS being XML based it should be a great format for generating your own documents, unfortunately there seems to be little available describing this format in a way that's useful to actual implementation when you want to do just that. I'm hoping to help fill in som...

ava applications are easiest to write and test when they run in a single JVM. However, the requirements to make applications scalable and highly available have forced Java applications to run on more than one JVM. In this article, we introduce Terracotta, an enterprise-class, open-source JVM-level clustering solution. JVM-level clustering simplifies enterprise Java by enabling applications to be deployed on multiple JVMs, yet interact with each other as if they were running on the same JVM....

C++/CLI is a self-contained, component-based dynamic programming language that, like C# or Java, is derived from C++. Unlike those languages, however, we have worked hard to integrate C++/CLI into ISO-C++, using the historical model of evolving the C/C++ programming language to support modern programming paradigms. You can say that C++/CLI is to C++ as C++ is to C. More generally, you can view the evolution leading to C++/CLI in the following historical context: * BCPL (Basic Computer Pr...

COM is a wonderful technology. One aspect of the common language runtime (CLR) that makes it an extremely powerful platform is that it allows seamless interactions between Microsoft® .NET applications and unmanaged COM components. However, when I searched the Web, I found few working samples demonstrating the very basic concepts of COM interop. The purpose of this column is to illustrate those basic concepts in order to provide solid working examples that can jump-start users in this technology....

In my previous series of columns, we moved an existing ISO-C++ application to the Microsoft® .NET Framework incrementally, illustrating the interoperability features of C++/CLI, and highlighting differences in the C++ and .NET object models. In this next series of columns, we’ll explore using C++/CLI as a purely .NET-compliant language. The application, for reasons that will soon become apparent, is code-named EEK! Because I am currently spending most of my time working on the server side of MMO...

With traditional object-oriented development, extending classes is typically achieved by deriving from a base class and enhancing the functionality in the derived class. Visual Basic® still supports these object-oriented concepts, but classes are sometimes marked NotInheritable to prevent modification of their behavior through inheritance. As a result, there is no way to customize these classes. An example of this is the System.String class. A new feature made available in Visual Basic 2008, how...

While inserting into the database it will be done as it is. but sometimes while retrieving the same need manipulation as was in my case. So in my application it was required to retrieve first letter of two words sentence and generate a report based on that. I initially tried it in code behind but later i realised it can be done in a very simple way with just a ONE LINE QUERY....
