What is everyone using for thier presentation layer?
-
I see. :wtf: That does sound like a bitch. Oh wait a minute, yeah I guess there is a similar issue with serializing LINQ objects to xml. In order for it to work right, you have to set up your associations between your LINQ objects correctly, otherwise you get circular references and the object's can't be serialized. It's easy to set up though.
Yeah, to do any kind of object graphs, also circular references should be possible. The neatest thing that just works without any issues: plain old .NET serialization. I was just curious how to handle it properly in the web services world.

Winforms, ASP.NET, and PHP. Of course I find the other layers more important than presentation so I spend most of my time there, making sure they are right and treat the presentation as interchangeable and unimportant.

Yeah you're right. That is what we are using .NET Serialization. Particularly the XmlSerializer object. LINQ and WCF are both .NET 3.x technologies.

I have been doing asp.net (and ajax) for a while. While I have taken the time to learn 3.5, WCF and LINQ. I have not invested any energy in learning the new presentation tools. I am just curious if the rest of you have and if so what you are using. Anyone think I am missing out and that I should move away from ASP.Net? Do you use any of the following? ASP.Net (including AJAX) Win Forms WPF SilverLight Other.

I recently did a quick foray into Silverlight because I want to write a web front-end to Interacx. I guess I found it frustrating, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. Instead, I ended up opting to use Telerik's Ajax ASP.NET controls. Telerik also has a pre-release available of some Silverlight stuff, but it's too early still, though I will look at it later when it (and Silverlight) matures more. I guess part of my decision to stick with ASP.NET is that it's a lot more comprehensive. Otherwise, for WinForm stuff, I typically use MyXaml and standard WinForm controls, although I have licenses for both DevExpress and Infragistics if I need something truly fancy. Marc

Today, I used the Console and MFC. The several daysy, I used nothing--the app had no presentation layer (unless you count the log file) and I was working on library code.

I have been bugging my boss to get me the Telerik AJAX controls and they finally agreed. They are just super. I can't even describe how good they are compared to the ajax toolkit that I was using...

asp.net 2.0, ajax, and xsl are my daily grind. I like to do some WinMobile and Win Forms in my "free" time though. Ive played around with wpf(gesture recognition and the likes) and it was pretty impressively easy to get going. I've recently installed Blend and Ive been playing around with the storyboard recording and it's a lot of fun. I haven't found the best way to have the same project open in VS and blend w/o minor issues.. but it's nice to be able to quickly make a snazzy ui with animations/transformations and then be able write the backend very similar to how I would a winform/asp.net app. You just cant beat code reusability!

oh man I love it. It's definately a breath of fresh air. Yeah, it's very easy to integrate. What we are doing it hosting WCF services in IIS that return strings to Flex. The strings are XML serialized LINQ objects. So we just use LINQ to query SQL Server, serialize the LINQ object to an xml string, modify the xml with Flex, pass the xml back to WCF where it gets deserialized back to a LINQ object, then update the db. It's awesome. With Flex Builder 3 you just import the WSDL generated by WCF, and FB 3 creates the required Actionscript classes you need to call the WCF service. There is a special thing you have to do to "flatten" the generated WSDL so Flex can understand it, but it's worth it for the killer UI you get with Flex. ok, boy I'm getting winded, you can see my excitement...

So where do you perform validation and where do you implement business rules? In the flex UI???

That's sort of what I was interested in. Thanks for posting that.

Both IMO. Flex has validation components built in. We also do some in the biz logic layer.
