Chapter 3: Creating the Application Infrastructure


Overview

There are many aspects of an application's infrastructure, including overall application conventions, coding patterns, and basic sets of reusable functionality. In this chapter you will not only examine the application architecture and the structure of the remoting calls, but you will also start developing working code for your application. This involves creating the stored procedures, shared objects, data-centric and user-centric classes, and a basic Windows interface.

You will see the difference between the application's logical model and the physical implementation of that model. In doing this, you will learn some of the additional choices you need to make and the consequences of those choices.

The business objects created in this chapter will provide the basic structure for all of your business objects and will eventually give you the ability to reduce and consolidate your code.

The user interface consists of base classes that implement a number of the application's features and that you will inherit from for almost all of the other forms in the application. Once you have a small part of the application working, you will enhance the user experience by implementing finding and sorting capabilities and a custom print routine that you will write once but reuse everywhere.
