Application Folder Organization (Best Practices)

Hello,

I am developing an application for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I plan on
installing the application under The 'Program Files' folder. My application
generates some log files as well as several types of data files. I know that
I cannot create/write to files under the 'Program Files' folder unless I am
a power user or an administrator. I would like my application to be run by a
normal user. What are the best practices for choosing folder locations for
logs and data generated by an application? Some of my data is applicable to
all users and some is only for the current user.

Thank you for your help,

Digital

Could anyone recommend a book (or a web site) that defines best practices in ASP.NET application development? E.g. 1) Precede your control id's with type of control btnSubmit, txtName, etc. 2) Group relevant .aspx files into subfolders within your project etc.

Hi, I'm having a few issues adapting to new 2.0 "website" project vs. the old 1.1 "web application". One of the major issues I'm having is with the notion of namespaces. Using the old way, I could add a directory to my project (say, "Controls"), then add a user control to that directory. From an .aspx I could then import the namespace ("using .Controls";), and then reference that control. With the 2.0 way of doing things, if I add a...

Hi, I'm about to develop a small python application and I wonder how to organize files in this application. I'm familar to java, so I'm tempted to use the same convention : 1 file per class and 1 folders per package. I know that packages doesn't exists in python, they are modules instead. May I create specific module for each "group of class" ? My application follow the MVC paradigm, so basically, I've a package Model, a package

In Python it's common to place several related classes in the same module (i.e., file). You don't have to write so much boilerplate code as in Java, so classes tend to be smaller in size; you may even find classes with an empty body.
