    <p>I’m developing a part of an application, named A. The application I want to plug my DLL into, called application B is in vb 6, and my code is in vb.net. (Application B will in time be converted to vb.net) My main question i, how is the best way for me to organize my code (application A)?</p> <p>I want to split application A into layers (Service, Business, Data access), so it will be easy to integrate application A into B when B is converted to vb.net. I also want to learn about all the topics like layered architecture, patterns, inversion of dependency, entity framework and so on. Although my application (A) is small I want to organize my code in the best way.</p> <p>The application I’m working with (A) is using web services for authenticating users and for sending schema to an organization. The user of application B is selecting a menu point in application B and then some functions in my application A is called.</p> <p>In application A I have an auto generated schema class from an xsd schema. I fill this schema object with data and serialize the object to a memory string (is it a good solution to use memory string, I don’t have to save the data yet), wrap the xml inside a CDATA block and return the CDATA block as a string and assign the CDATA block to a string property of a web service.</p> <p>I am also using Entity framework for database communication (to learn how this is done for the future work with application B). I have two entities in my .edmx, User and Payer. I also want to use the repository pattern (is this a good choice?) to make a façade between the DAL and the BLL.</p> <p>My application has functions for GeneratingSchema (filling the schema object with data), GetSchemaContent, GetSchemaInformation, GenerateCDATABlock, WriteToTextFile, MemoryStreamToString, EncryptData and some functions that uses web services, like SendShema, AuthenticateUser, GetAvalibelServises and so on.</p> <p>I’m not sure where I should put it all? I think I have to have some Interfaces like IRepository, ISchema (contract for the auto generated schema class, how can I do this?) ICryptoManager, IFileManager and so on, and classes that implements the interfaces.</p> <p>My DAL will be the Entity framework. And I want a repository façade in my BLL (IRepository, UserRepository, PayerRepository) and classes for management (like the classes I have mention above) holding functions like WriteToFile, EncryptData …..</p> <p>Is this a good solution (do I need a service layer, all my GUI is in application B) and how can I organize my layers, interfaces, classes an functions in Visual Studio?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

    1. COYour question is good, but has a VERY big scope. It sort of asks for a complete application design as an answer. I will upvote any constructive answers you get :-)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
