hello guys,
Let is say I have two layers: the GUI web application that has the master
page and web forms. and the DAL - Data access layer
which is another web application and has been created using Strongly Typed
Dataset. I have created the DAL using the tuts explained
in MSDN : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...asource_vb.asp
What is the best way to add reference from my GUI page to the DAL. They are
both web applicaitons. I added the DAL to the GUI web
but when i try to add reference I can't see Add reference to DAL project to
be selected and added ...
What is the best way?

No doubt people will disagree with me, but I wouldn't have created your DAL
as a separate web application. Maybe a separate class library at a push, but
most certainly not a separate web application.
My DAL exists in a single class file, and I use Visual SourceSafe to provide
version control on all my projects.
Therefore, whenever I create a new project which requires the DAL (which is
pretty much all of them), I simply share the class file into the new project
through SourceSafe. That means that if I make and improvements, amendments,
enhancements to the DAL, all my other projects get them automatically next
time I compile them.

Another way to get that with a slightly more elaborate design is to make
the DAL a class library, and to reference the project and not the DLL
from your UI application (WinForms, ASP.NET or WPF...).
I like this kind of design, because it allows me to add a test UI in my
DAL project (Console application, or even simple WinForms application),
so I can develop and test my DAL separately from the other applications.
When it is ready, I just open the Web application solution, and all the
changes are made available to it automatically. It's IME the best way to
solve the versioning problems you get when you use assembly references.
HTH,
Laurent

Er, yeah...
I don't see where Scott Mitchell indicated you should make your Data Access
Layer into a "Web Application". The other comments about having your DAL is a
class library are wise suggestions.
You are certainly on the right track, just remember that web presentation is
by definition an "ASP.NET Application", but business logic and Data Access
are not - nor should they be.

Hi all,
I'm quite lost with how adding web references to a project creates proxy
classes.
I've developed a web service with two classes inside and that contains three
references to three DLLs. After building it up, I've deployed it on the web
server.
From my Windows application, I then add a web reference to that web service.

I have a web service that is consumed by a C++ application.
I added a C# dll reference to the web service, When the web service calls a
method on the dll, it sends back an HRESULT of E_FAIL to my C++ application.
What is causing the web service to return an E_FAIL when it calls the method
on the dll it added as a reference?
Thanks

The two obvious methods for ref'ing assemblies are:
Add a reference and 'Browse' for the actual DLL
OR
Add existing project to the solution, then add a ref to 'Project'.

I'm assuming that it makes sure that debug exe gets matched to
