Structure for extremely large multi-tier Web projects

Hello,

I am working on a very large multi-tier Web application. The
application consists of approximately 100 middle-tier/back-end projects
and 200-300 presentation projects. Obviously this is too large to
manage in a single solution. The development staff have each developed
ways to work within such a behemoth structure, but we have not been
able to come up with a standard for project-to-solution organization
and how to manage dependencies across them.

As we work on our migration to 2.0 I would like to clean up and
standardize our projects and solutions. Has anyone tackled a similar
issue with success? Is it reasonable to try and keep management of
this within Visual Studio or is an external build tool a better option?
If an external build tool is used have people found it difficult to
keep the Visual Studio environment in sync?

Any thoughts or opinions would be a big help.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

Well that's a huge project indeed, what it's about , if I may ask?

Take a look at RUP (Rational Unified Process) it's intended to be used in
large projects as this one.

It is software for government bodies. I agree that RUP is applicable,
however I am wondering more about the physical layout and structure of
projects, the solutions that contain them and how to manage the
dependencies between them.

Thanks

Maybe I am stating the obvious and you are already using it, or have
considered it, but this sounds like a job for Visual Studio Team Edition with
Team Server.

Trying to use the 'search' in the docs section of PostgreSQL.org is extremely SLOW.

Does anyone have preferences for how to set up directory structures in larger multi-project C# 'solutions'? (Hate that ad-speak cliche). I realize that this is arbitrary, but it seems that another level of directory depth would help in organizing things. For example, assemblies in one top-level folder, executables in another, etc. Has anyone come up with anything that generally works well?

Greetings. The emulation fever has conquered all kinds of Internet communities, and hence I've decided to write a tool in C which can read and modify a disk image. (However, I won't tell which kind of disk images until it's finished. Only problem I have now, where do I start and where do I have to malloc() and where not? It's better to know about this in the concept phase, for when the tool goes beyond the magical 1000-lines extent, it...

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