firedancer — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:04:47 GMT

This is the final public release of the Expense sample application for .NET 3.0. I hope to focus on .NET 3.5 features in the upcoming releases.

- Added/Removed some data access logic to support the new business logic.
- Implemented code to retrieve which connection to use from config file.
- Added the ability to disable MSMQ in the hosts. (Check Readme.txt for instructions.)

This sample contains 16 Visual Studio 2005 projects that illustrates the following:

Presentation Layer
a) Expense Application - A Windows Smart-client for expense submission.
b) Manager Application - A Windows client for approving expense.
c) UI Process - Contains simple user process component classes.

NOTE:
For installation and configuration instructions, please read the accompanying Readme.txt file.

KNOWN ISSUES
You may receive an error connecting to the host application when you first run the code in Visual Studio. This is due to the initialization of the ConsoleHost that may have taken a little longer while the Window clients try to connect to it.

OPENING IN VISUAL STUDIO 2008
You should be able to migrate the solution to VS 2008 without any problems. VS 2008 has multi-targetting capabilities that can build and execute the sample.
