editor and webbased lists

[lisav]

Hi,
I recently started a new project as a junior.
Everything is running under Visual studio 2005 and sql express 2005.
I have created a database model and now i need to develop the following .

1. An editor to facilitate the entry of data in some of the tables.
2. I need to generate a few simple lists from the tables and from stored procedures and show them from a

web based application.

Concerning the editor: How can i proceed the best? Which technology is the best suited for this? If later

i have to make changes to my datamodel, i want as little problems as possible, iow i would like most to

be generated from the datamodel.
Is it useful to use technology like NHibernate for this?
Or is there an analogous way in visual studio?
Or other tools?

The same for the lists. Is it better to use a technology like crystal reports? Or is it overkill for my

small app? basically, all lists are quite simple.

All help is appreciated!!!!

Lisa.

Hi Lisa,
Welcome to TSDN, I hope you like it here!

I would suggest designing a screen with some text fields and buttons that will facilitate the editing first.

Once you have a screen drawn up I would write the dialogue that happens between the user and the system.

Eg
For Editing Screen:
User enters a,b,c.
User enters x, system validates x.
User presses button BTNZ, system validates a,b,c, and x. If system validates true, system does: <describe tasks that have to be done by the system>

This will help you to understand what functionality you will need to do before you sit down to write any code. Once you know what functionality your system will be doing, you can design classes based on the "nouns" in your dialog, and design your functions based on the "verbs" in your dialog.

This really helps me to get organized before I start any project.

You are probably going to want to use C#.NET or VB.NET to write your application. Both will accomplish the same thing but its up to you which ever you choose (pick the one you're most comfortable with).

Have you ever developed a .NET web application before?
