Hello Chaps,
Me and a collegue have been talking about where the best place to put
business logic is.
I think that the best place is where Microsoft suggest - in a seperate
business logic layer. The alternative is to have all the logic in with the
business entity objects, thus eliminating the business logic layer.
The reason that I prefer the seperate layer is because I think its more
flexible.
I was hoping someone might have further insight into this for us
Thanks all

Yes, the standard for enterprise applications is to have a separate business
logic layer.
However, for smaller, less formal applications that are unlikely to grow
large amounts over time, having many layers can be overkill.

A small addition - business entity objects are unnecessary unless you want
to encapsulate some complex operations on entity data into the business
entity classes.
According to Microsoft, using business entity objects as simple data holders
is not a good practice. More regular means such as DataSets should rather be
used for this purpose.
The business logic classes, therefore, should use these DataSets and perform
the logic itself over data stored there. If there are explicit constraints,
however, these
should be defined by means of the DataSet XSD schema.

Hey folks,
I have a toppic I would like to discuss:
Many authors write that business objects should have the CRUD behavior
implemented (create, read, update, delete). Which means that a class
Customer has a method Load() etc...
In my opinion this is not the right way, because this means that you
implement the way a class is saved in the class itself.

Hi,
I am new to this newsgroup and need help in the following questions.
1. I am workin' on a GUI application. Does C# provides Layout Managers the
way Java does to design GUI? I know that it can be done using the designer
but I intentionally don't want to use that. The one reason is that you
cannot change the code generated by the designer. The other could be that
you have more free hand and control to design your GUI.

Hello,
I would like to know what's the best way to implement a business logic
layer between my user interface and my database.
I would say I'd make a dll-project for the business logic layer and make
classes that represent objects/tables. For example, if I have a table
named 'tblPersons' I would make a class named 'clsPersons' and a class
'clsPerson' that represents one person/record. In class 'clsPersons' I
can make some business...
