I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here it goes :-)
This has been bothering me for a long time, and I'm curious about everyone's
opinion or a "Microsoft Best Practices" method of doing this. I have a
"Member" business object which contains information about an individual
member. For instance, it contains the following properties:
member.name = "SteveS"
member.LoginNam e = "SteveS"
member.Phone = '555-555-1234'
member.Office = ...object of office information such as (office.address 1,
office.name, office.mailtype , etc...)
member.Committe es = ....contains a collection of the Committee objects
(Committee.Name , Committee.Type, Committee.Meeti ngPlace, etc...)
So, every time I instantiate the member object, I populate the .Office and
..Committes objects. Basically, in this example, the database would take 3
hits - one to read the member record, one to read the office record, and
one to read the committee records.
THE PROBLEM: This works fine, except there are 2 extra database hits when
I only need the LoginName property. ***I hate to call the database again if
I don't have to****
THE SOLUTION: ???? What do you think is the best answer???? Once answer
is to read all the data in a sql statement, then use that to populate each
object. That doesn't seem to be the cleanest way to me. (but I could be
wrong). Here's what I did:
Public Class Member
private _name as string
private _MemberNumber as Long
private _LoginName as string
private _Phone as string
private_Office as Business.Office
private _Committees as Business.Commit teCollection()
Public Property Name as String
....
End Property
Public Property LoginName as String
....
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property as Business.Office
Get
If IsNothing(_offi ce) then '<======= populate the office object
if not already
_Office = New Office(_OfficeN umber)
End If
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Committees Property as Business as
Business.Commit teeCollection()
Get
If IsNothing(_Comm ittees) Then '<=======popula te the
CommitteCollect ion if not already
...code to populate the CommitteCollect ion.....
End If
return _Committees
End Get
End Property
.....
.....
End Class
Thanks for taking the time to think about this :-)

I am developing a Windows Forms application in VB.NET that will use .NET
remoting to access the data tier classes.
A very simple way I have come up with is by creating typed (.xsd) datasets.
For example dsParts.xsd and including that in the data tier. I then will
create a class that looks like this
Public Class CPart
Inherits dsParts

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to convert business objects to a flat table.
The reverse is also required. I am using c# and
Oracle ODP. I am looking for an easier method to do the below steps.
Steps I follows for populating Business Objects is as follows
(1) Get a list of records containing various tables joined together from DB
using a single PL/SQL
(This is a specific requirement, So cannot change the design)

hi guys,
Currently converting an old classic asp system to a OOP asp.net
application. We are building the new application using a 3 tier
arcitecture and i was wondering about the following.
I have a parent class, that when inserted, inserts a few child classes
into the database, based on other classes. In the old system, this is
wrote as one big SQL script, with many inserts and updates because the
system was not wrote as OOP.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
