Architecture Question

Tom
Hello,

I have a Windows form application that currently uses a database local to
the machine it is running on. We are planning on setting this application
up for a multi-user environment, so I would like to change to a 3-tier
architecture application for scalability:

1. My Client
|
2. My Business Logic Server (The client connects here)
|
3. My database server

We may also create another web form client in the future, and I would also
like that to connect to the business logic server as well.

My question is, what type of communication do you guys recommend between the
exist client and the business logic server?

1. If I use .NET remoting, can an ASP .NET page easily utilize the .NET
remoting code if I create an additional web form in the future?

2. If I setup the logic server to provide web services to clients, I have
heard that web services don't support transactions across multiple database
servers, so if I can't use web services, what should I use?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
-- Tom

I can't possibly reproduce the code for this as the 2 classes in question are about 1500 lines each and condensing is in this case impossible due to algorithmic logic dependencies. Let's say you have a Class A and a Class B. Let's say Class A is like this: class A { var $b;

Hello everyone. I visit this board pretty regularly but have never posted. My question is an application architecture question... so hopefully it's okay to post in the dotnet general forum. I have this project I'm proposing but want to get some opinions on a good architecture. Some of the requirements are as follows: 1. 30+ tables and 25+ lookup tables 2. Small number of records added monthly (<100) 3. Fairly complex, PCU-intensive...

Hi! I am new to .NET (coming from Java). We have to implement a desktop application which extracts data from a database, does some analysis, filtering etc. and displays the results. I have noticed that in .NET applications Windows widgets like the DataGrid are often directly bound to a DataSet Object. For me this means essentially a 2 tier architecture instead of a 3 tier architecture. I am used to seperating the application into 3 tiers:...

This may not be a direct C# question, but since I'll be using using C# for development, I thought I'd pose the question here. I'll soon be involved in the design of a new software product that will employ a software "Plug-In" architecture. Taking the plug-in route will give us a design that can adapt to, as yet, undefined future requirements (within the scope of the plug-in interface spec of course). In the past I've done this with...

I have a small windows service which connects to a POP3 server at defined intervals, scans the available messages, extracts the required information and inserts the data into a SQL database.

I have a Web Service that I am reponsible for that we use for data integration purposes. Recently I have been tasked with sending some of this data to a third party. Because they need to receive the data in real time. They have requested that I subscribe to a Web Service that they have published. The only problem is that they often take longer than 30 seconds to process my data before I get a response back from them. This is taking far...

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. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
