Performance of CollectionBase class

[Vadivel Kumar]

Hi Guys,

I have a doubt which is little bit conceptual rather than a coding
convention.

I have a a table called products in which I have 40000 and odd products
which is expected to be frequently
accessed by the website. I'm having doubt in how fast i can serve this
product details to the requesting clients.

Basically, I have created necessary stored procedures to pull out the data
from the database. Now, I'm planning to have
a data access layer called product (a class) which contains properties,
enumerators etc., to load all the product details
by executing the stored procedure. That is, the data access layer will be
used by the business layer to deal with the product
details in the means of populating it in the webpage, filtering etc.,

So, the product class inherits Collectionbase class to have all the
enumerator, indexer funtionalities which is nothing
but a custom data source and which can be used with DataGrid etc., and all
the business logic like how to populate, what
to populate has been written in the business layer (it uses the data layer
to define the bl), which is eventually used by
the web developers to design the dynamic pages of the site.

I'm having doubt whether this kind of approach will work best in web
atmosphere rather than a windows application or not?
and also loading 40,000 records in a collection base object will give better
performance or not?

Please kindly suggest me, how to proceed in the terms of which is better way
to deal with this.

Thanks in Advance

I would put this way- if you are going to pull all 40K records in the
collection class and your web site will have multiple visitors (that means
multiple instances of the same class would be urnning in memory)- you are
definitely experience performance problem. If the business logic permits, I
would only pull the records necessary.

Also, .NET has memeory problem with larger objects (40K records is
definitely one of that kind). You are on the right track to analyse the
problem but you may have to compromise some performance to keep the business
logics flowing.

40k records would be a large collection of many small objects - which
can cause problems too.

For example, my data layer contains a class called "product" which inherits
IEnumerator interface and this
class is used by business layer class "products" in which
i have written all my business logic etc.,

So, while retriving the any number of product i'm iterating
from product class in products class.

Is this makes sense and I'm following the standards? and If i follow the
standards i have to give up the price of performance. So, is this shows the
standards are not right?

I'm literrally confused. Advice me.

Thanks & Regards

And, I would like to know another one stuff like I'm developing a set of
libraries
which can be used with windows or web based interface my library code will
execute based on which kind
of interface it is deployed.

So, how to check this in C#, if you take C i normally use
preprocessor directive to check which platform, which architecture etc.,
based on that i will define my functions.

Kindly help me on this.

Thanks in Advance
