3 Tier Project Question

Re: 3 Tier Project Question

Hi,
I am also trying to come to grips with 3 (N) Tier structures.

On the MSDN web site there is an example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ldntierapp.asp

It is titled "Building an N-Tier Application in .NET"
By "Paul D. Sheriff
PDSA, Inc."

Paul suggests:
All Data access routrines should be exposed as objects instead of function
calls
SQL should be eliminated from the client side code

It is a good article and well worth reading. I am having problems following
the instructions to create the data layer as I am not getting the choice of
Project Template recomended.

Doug,

The Standard Edition of Visual Studio is lacking the Class Template. There
are simple hacks to get around it...
