Best Practices, ASP.NET, and Data Binding

Hi,

I have a question:

Is any of Microsoft's databinding code / controls of any use in a
real-world MVC application? What is the best way to build an MVC
application? For example, is a FormView a complete waste?

Background:

I am trying to build a Model-View-Controller (MVC) site, but I'm having
problems. It seems most of books and articles on the web are trying to
teach how to use MS development products, but not how to use them
correctly, or using Best Practices. Microsoft is coming out with a new
MVC mechanism for building sites, but I cannot wait for it to be
completed. My deadline is before that.

Typical databound controls just are not appropriate for an n-tier
application. Even the ObjectModelData Source just is not appropriate.
In fact, I wasted most of today working with the ObjectModelData Source,
but is just doesn't work for a real MVC application. (at least as I
understand the MVC pattern.)

Any feedback on how best to build an MVC application is appreciated.

I am developing a Windows Forms application in VB.NET that will use .NET remoting to access the data tier classes. A very simple way I have come up with is by creating typed (.xsd) datasets. For example dsParts.xsd and including that in the data tier. I then will create a class that looks like this Public Class CPart Inherits dsParts

http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/bestpractices/ I started writing this up as a guide for some people who were looking for general tips on how to do things the 'right way' with Javascript. Their code was littered with document.all and eval, for example, and I wanted to create a practical list of best practices that they could easily put to use. The above URL is version 1.0 (draft) that resulted. IMO, it is not a replacement for the FAQ,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
