Three (3) Tier architecture and .NET design mode

Hello,

How do you guys implement 3-tier applications with .NET's design mode
controls.
For example, on an ASP .NET form, the SQLDataSource and the Gridview belong
in 2 different tiers. If they are supposed to be in 2 separate DLLs, how can
I have them on the webform and plug them in together?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

I'm assuming you're referring to a 3-layered approach (tiers are runtime
abstractions, whereas layers are software abstractions).

The SqlDataSource doesn't work here, as it gives User Interface components
a direct access to data without any governing Business Layer in between.
Use an ObjectDataSourc e for a three layered application architecture.

Cheers,

Thank you.

By using the ObjectDataSourc e don't we lose the ability to design the forms
with the data controls and do the binding, etc in the VB.NET designer?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Reasons for a 3-tier achitecture for the WEB? (NOTE: I said, WEB, NOT WINDOWS. DON'T shoot your mouth off if you don't understand the difference.) I hear only one reason and that's to switch a database from SQL Server to Oracle or DB2 or vice versa... and that's it.... And a lot of these enterprises don't need it as they already know what database they are going to use and they don't plan on switching in and out database in the first...

We've been developing a web site using 3-tier architecture for 18 months now. There is a common layer that defines the classes - using XML schemas. The data layer acts as a wrapper to 3 databases - SQL Server, Oracle and AS400. The business layer exposes web services which communicate with the front end, ASP.Net. All 3 tiers are on different boxes. This works well. Now I am leading a team to build a winforms app. I need some advice as

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