The Ottawa .NET Community is pleased to invite you to a luncheon presentation on "Effective N-Layering in ASP.NET". This presentation will be of special interest to web Developers/Architects that want to enhance their Rapid Application Development skills. Pack your lunch and join us for this unique lunch and learn opportunity. To register, send an email request to events@OttawaCommunity.Net.
Effective N-Layering in ASP.NET
This presentation will focus on tools and techniques associated with the rapid development of ASP.NET applications. It will begin by introducing N-Layering basics as described in Martin Fowler book “Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture” and it will then demonstrate the creation of an N-Layered ASP.Net application with specific focus on 3 real-world scenarios;
1. ASP to ASP.NET migration where the client does not want the back end (Database) to change
2. ASP.NET Spaghetti Code refactoring using the existing stored procedures
3. ASP.NET's effective use of the ObjectDataSource or LINQ with the Microsoft Entity Framework

ASP.Net Pipeline Extensibility : Http Modules, Http Handlers, IHttpHandlerFactory, IHttpAsyncHandler and HttpApplication
By Joël Hébert
The HTTP Pipeline can be extended in ASP.NET adding pre and post processing to incoming requests. This said there are multiple scenarios that can benefit from these processings. The presentation will include a real life HttpHandler scenario based on an "Ip Address Authentication Mechanism". The HttpHandler will handle multiple scenarios via the Factory pattern and will be fired asyncronously.
The presentation is for Intermediate to Advanced ASP.Net developers interested in tapping into the pileline's end points or starting points in order to: url rewrite, serve images, authenticate and authorize requests, capture errors and more.
Attending this presentation will ensure comprehension of: ASP.Net Pipeline Extensibility Options, Http Modules, Http Handlers, HttpApplication class, Key Interfaces for handlers ( IHttpHandlerFactory & IHttpAsyncHandler)
A demo of a HttpHandler will showcase:
-How to create Http Handlers that are Asyncronous and tied to the Factory pattern
-Utilizing a custom IP Class to verify ipranges
-The SqlCacheDependency in Sql Server 2000 and 2005
-How to add Session State support in a Httphandler

When Joel is not coding he enjoys the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau , Denis Diderot and Montesquieu.
Today I attended an event with the Ottawa .Net Community based on the Page Flow Application Block.
I reallly liked what I saw but had some questions after the meeting. For those with interest here are some really good links:
Web Client Guidance Community site
Web Client Software Factory
Software Factories
They answered my questions. I always believe that after an event you should actually try to do the stuff. For me anyhow if I go home and watch hockey I am not going to retain much. I always go home and take 2 to 3 hours and at least research a bit.
I will blog on my findings when I am done...I think this lab is going to be instrumental to the learning curve.

The Ottawa .NET Community Presents
Dealing with Real World Development Challenges
This is it; the 2006/2007 Season Wrap Up. It’s been a great season and we’re finishing it off with a collection of application development “Problems and Solutions” and a bit of a “Social”. 5 of our community’s top Solution Architects are going to walk us through the key development challenge that they were faced with in the past year and how they went about resolving it. Christian Beauclair, our Microsoft Senior Developer Advisor, will be hosting this panel of presenters and will be adding his own unique perspective on each of the Challenges/Solutions being presented. Following the presentation, we will be serving some refreshments and enjoying each other’s company before breaking for the summer. Come join us for this home grown community exchange and learn how to deal with some very real.NET development challenges.
This is How We Did It
Challenge 1: Creating Video Tutorials for Web Applications (Peter Hall)
Given a choice, most users would rather watch an instructional video than wade through a pile of documentation. Unfortunately not all developers know how to create an instructional video and attach it to their web applications. In this presentation, Peter Hall is going to walk us through the creation of an instructional video using Camtasia and the Microsoft Media Encoder, and then he’s going to show us how to attach it to a web application.
Challenge 2: Working with Embedded Real-time .Net (Michael Cox)
Developing an efficient Windows GUI based Application with real-time constraints in minimal time and maximum flexibility is a major challenge. Michael Cox is going to show us how he used Asynchronous I/O, Threading, Generic Queues, and Properties for User/Applications settings to come up with a solution that worked for him.
Challenge 3: Model Driven Development via the Visual Studio 2005 Class Designer (Joel Hebert)
Developing applications that scale well, promote code re-use, and facilitate maintenance is not an easy thing to do. In this presentation, Joel Hebert is going to show us how to use the Visual Studio 2005 Class Designer to create classes and layers that avoid many common application pitfalls; he’s going to talk about N-Tier Vs N-Layer architecture and the misconceptions that surround them; and he’s going to show us the basic steps involved in creating an N-layer application.
Challenge 4: Imbedding .NET User Controls into an MFC application (Graham Ross)
How does a Company with an existing product based on MFC and C++ move forward in order to take advantage of features and third party components available in .NET? Graham Ross is going to show us how he used the managed extensions in C++ to imbed .NET user controls into an MFC application.
Challenge 5: Organizing Your Development Environment (Wesley MacDonald)
Application development projects are made up of numerous artifacts (SVCS, Bug Reports, Project Plans, Requirement Docs,…) and managing them can quickly turn into a nightmare. Wesley MacDonald is going to show us how he uses Visual Studio Team Foundation Server to provide his team with an integrated development environment wherein all artifacts are stored under one roof and easily reported on.

We participated and took home the gold in the 2005 IUGC. We developed for 4 months an application that utilized Microsoft Enterprise Application blocks, Web Services, MapPoint, Windows Services, Mobile Apps, and more. We architected the product by using Use-Case Diagrams / Class Diagrams / UML. The theme was to develop an application that woul enable people to live healthier lives. Therefore we set to do so by creating an application that allows you to register/ plot a running course / allow others to subscribe via web or mobile app. MapPoint was used to plot the courses directly from the database.
