AS.PNET 2.0, runtime modules Best Practices

Hi there,
we are rewriting our .NET 1.1 web application with VS. 2005 and .NET 2.0, it
takes big work but we believe there is a point to do that... at least we
hope!

we believe that:

1) the coding and debugging support of VS 2005 is much better and useful
than in VS 2003, so, better debug, easier life for the developers :-)

2) is it true that just using the 2.0 runtime instead of the 1.1 we gain
about 20% of speed performance more? (I've heard something like this in the
past in some forums).

my main concern is about our custom modules, let's call them "plug in":

we have the main application (in .NET 1.1) that uses some pages and the bin
directory for assemblies... we have some modules that are just installed
putting the .dll in the bin folder then some .aspx and .ascx objects in
other web application folders... there is an installer that load the
assemblies reading some module.config xml files... that's it.

Now, in .NET 2.0, I've seen that the web site (which was the web application
project in VS 2003), contains ALL the objects in the folder tree so i cannot
put some ascx and aspx in a subfolder and let only the module's assembly to
use them... because the web site will try to compile and use them at debug
and compile time...

which one is the best way to make plugin and runtime modules in VS 2005 .NET
2.0 ASPNET 2.0 web sites ?

Thanks a lot in advantage, regards Davide.

If you read the material, it sounds like ASP.NET 2.0 is a "complete code"
release methodology. Put your code in App_Code, put your pages and controls
with their code behind and run.

You can do this, but I find it unwise on so many levels. You can add
libraries to a site and you can place your modules in the same way as 1.1.
Depending on how you accomplish this, you might have a few code tweaks, but
once you figure it out for one, you will be fine across the board. And, if
you download the optional web applications projects and web deployment
projects, you can work 2.0 very much like 1.1, including single DLL compile
of site:

Web Application Projects:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/aa336618.aspx

Web Deployment Projects
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/aa336619.aspx

To your questions

1) Debugging, unit testing, code metrics are all part of 2.0. There are also
additional controls, esp. for ASP.NET, so you will gain some speed, after a
short learning curve. If you adopt testing and metrics, you will find the
quality of your code also improves.
2) I have found simply placing a 1.1 assembly on a 2.0 site improves
performance. If it is recompiled in 2.0, there is a slightly higher bump,
esp. if you refactor the code with the new bits in 2.0 (generics comes to
mind).

Hello Cowboy :-)

I was reading here: http://forums.asp.net/thread/1332884.aspx
there are people that give good points to avoid using modules... so actually
now I'm a little lost...

Look, I heard about "Web Application Projects" and "Web Deployment Projects"
but since when I started rewriting our web application in .NET 2, and now I
should call it "Web Site" since there is not anymore any web app project,
I'm making efforts to rewrite it clean and rebuilding, refactoring
everything (more or less)... so I really don't want to downgrade the design
to .NET 1.1... sincerely I've not yet studied the key points and benefits of
single file assemblies brought us from .NET 2.0, but I want to take
advantage completely of VS 2005 and .NET 2.0 so I'd to figure out how to
rewrite global.asax, assembly info and some other points in the new
environment... but now that this is done, my team is happy and excited to
work in the new scenario....

so we have actually to figure out if split the project (like it was in .NET
1.1) main web site and some class libraries with aspx and ascx too or if
keep all the as*x in the main web site and abstract modules in class
libraries so we can decide site by site to install (or activate) some
modules or not...
1) Debugging, unit testing, code metrics are all part of 2.0. There are
also additional controls, esp. for ASP.NET, so you will gain some speed,
after a short learning curve. If you adopt testing and metrics, you will
find the quality of your code also improves.
I tried to run my web app in 2.0 few times but there were bad errors and
nothing was working... and you cannot debug in Vs 2003 if it runs under .NET
2.0...
2) I have found simply placing a 1.1 assembly on a 2.0 site improves
performance. If it is recompiled in 2.0, there is a slightly higher bump,
esp. if you refactor the code with the new bits in 2.0 (generics comes to
mind).
Actually we are doing this... and within generics the design is much
better... now you tell me the performance too, wow! :-)

Davide.

I keep asking myself this question as I write class modules. What's the best/smartest/most efficient way to send a large object back and forth to a class module? For example, say I have a data access module that creates a large disconnected dataset from a database. I want to pass that dataset back to the calling program. And then perhaps I want to send that dataset to another class module. At first it seems that the "object oriented"...

At running the risk of asking how big is too big... Is there a rule of thumb or a best practice that says I may have too many modules? I currently have a Access2K app with about 30 code modules, plus of course the modules associated with the forms themselves. My practice has been to create a seperate module to handle specific groupings of code, for example, a seperate module to handle clipboard actions, window sizing actions, etc.

Hello, I am trying to use vs.net 2005 to migrate a project originally in vs.net 2003. I started with creation of a "web site", and then created folders for each component of the site. I read somewhere that each folder under the "web site" is compiled in separate assembly. I however, did not find that the "web site" creation in vs.net 2005 created any AssemblyInfo.cs file.
