Hello,
I have arrived at quite an architectural challenge.
I am at the verge of deciding to rewrite a large application written
in C++ with MFC. I am quite sure we will switch to C# language on the
..NET platform. Second choice, but unlikely, is Java. Because I am not
very experienced with architectural choices and have little experience
yet, and because I just want to know which choices there are, I post
it here in this group.
The application has the following concept:
- Windows main application: MDI user interface. Uses all following
components.
- Component: database access to store documents data
- Component: store data to binary file instead of database
- Component: data (document), large in size and complex in structure;
a document employs one of several different models, one component for
each type of model; code specific to maintain / access data resides in
the respective model type component (including media storage)
- Component: analysis of document of particular data model (one
analysis component specific to each model); storage of the analysis
data.
- Component: optimisation of document of particular data model (one
component specific to each model); storage of the optimised data;
component uses (data from) analysis component
- Component: visualisation; one component for eg. 2D visualisation,
one for 3D, etc. (Q: How can a component handle user interaction
specific to its respective visualisation type?)
I want this application to work on component "plug in" basis. I want
to be able to choose which components to incorporate in the app at
build time. Later on maybe also on run time.
Can anyone comment on this, maybe recommend a (practical, language
specific) book or a project that can serve as an example? What kind of
(binary) components to use, DLL's? What kind of interfaces? Which
methods have proven in past projects?
Thank you,

Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com and look for the
architecture and best practices documents.

Hi,
I have clients using an application that allows users to change their
passwords. The application uses the 'ALTER USER xxx IDENTIFIED
BY.....' command. What I need to do is use Oracle to capture the
username and password and send the info to another Oracle instance on
a different server and update that users password.
Basically I need to keep the user's password in sync between two
different databases.

Its much like the available general ASP.Netmessage board. Only a bit

SQL Server will be used as the back-end database to a non trivial client
application.
In question is the choice of client application:
I need to be able to speak intelligently about when one client (MS Access vs
..NET Windows Forms) would be preferred over the other. While I have some
good arguments on both sides, I would appreciate your points of view on the
topic.

Hello
I'm interested in hearing reflections by seasoned web app
developpers about the different ways to write PHP apps, and especially
how they compare in terms of performance, whether it's the PHP part or
connections to MySQL.
As far as I know, there are different ways to write a PHP application:
- CGI, ie. the usual way : some PHP code in web pages, and the PHP
interpreter is loaded each time a PHP page is called

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
