Layered Architecture Sample is designed to showcase various .NET Technologies such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Form, ASP.NET and ADO.NET Entity Framework working in conjunction with the Layered Architecture Design Pattern. It is aimed at illustrating how code of similar responsibilities can be factored into multiple logical layers which are applicable in most of today's enterprise applications.

It is often that samples feature each .NET Technology independently to promote ease of learning but most developers are challenged when they need to apply all of the technologies that they have learned into a complete functional enterprise application. This is the problem area that Layered Architecture Sample attempts to address.

Take note that the main objective of the sample is to focus on layering and therefore, you may discover that certain cross-cutting functionalities have been omitted to maintain its simplicity.

Expense Sample August 2010 Release for .NET 4.0 is now available

If you are developing for the cloud, you may also want to check out Layered Architecture Sample for Azure

You can now get started with creating the project structure that is illustrated in the sample with Layered Architecture Solution Guidance. The tool will automatically create the projects for you and automatically wire-up the references so that you can concentrate on building your application.

Project Description

Layered Architecture Sample is designed to demonstrate how to apply various .NET Technologies such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Form, ASP.NET and ADO.NET Entity Framework to the Layered Architecture Design Pattern. It is aimed at illustrating how code of similar responsibilities can be factored into multiple logical layers which are applicable in most of today's enterprise applications.

The primary objective of the sample is to focus on layering and therefore, certain cross-cutting functionalities have been omitted to maintain its simplicity.

Logical Component Architecture of the Expense Sample (Layering)

Physical Deployment Architecture of the Expense Sample (Tiering)

Updated Wiki: ReadMe for Expense Sample - July 2010 (for .NET 4.0) Release

firedancer — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:15:48 GMT

1. PRE-REQUISITES

1.1 VISUAL STUDIO 2010

This release of Layered Architecture Sample is not supported on earlier versionsof Visual Studio other than Visual Studio 2010.

Visual Studio 2008 SP1 developers should download the January 2009 release of this sample. (for .NET 3.5 SP1)
http://www.codeplex.com/LayerSample/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=22510

Visual Studio 2008 developers should downlad the November 2008 release of this sample. (for .NET 3.5)
http://www.codeplex.com/LayerSample/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=19929

Visual Studio 2005 developers should download the March 2008 release of this sample. (for .NET 3.0)
http://www.codeplex.com/LayerSample/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=11916

1.2 CONFIGURING THE WORKFLOW INSTANCE STORE

This application requires that the Workflow Instance Store is created and properly configured in ONE database named WorkflowInstanceStore. If you have chosen different database names, you may configure this application to use them via the config files.

If you have not configured your Workflow Instance Store, please refer to the following steps:

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio and create a new database. i.e. WorkflowInstanceStore

2. Once the database is created, go to File->Open->File

3. Navigate to the folder %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.xxx\SQL\EN

4. Open the following two scripts:

SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreSchema.sql
SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreLogic.sql

5. Ensure that the database i.e. WorkflowInstanceStore, is selected in the database drop down.

6. Execute the script SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreSchema.sql and then followed by SqlWorkflowInstanceStoreLogic.sql

2. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Run the script provided in the Database folder to create the sample database. Verify you have the ExpenseSample database created after execution.

2. Configure the credentials to your database in the config files of the Host that you have chosen i.e. ConsoleHost

2.1 CONNECTION STRINGS

Please verify the connection string credentials for the ExpenseSample and WorkflowInstanceStore databases in the .config files for the following projects before running the solution:

a) App.config in ExpenseSample.Hosts.ConsoleHost project.

b) App.config in ExpenseSample.Hosts.WindowsServiceHost project.

c) Web.config in Hosts.WebHost web site.

3. Compile and run the solution.

3. SETTING UP THE WINDOWS SERVICE HOST (OPTIONAL)

This sample contains 3 hosts - IIS (or Web), Console and Windows Service. By default, the solution launches the ConsoleHost when executed.

To setup the Windows Service Host, follow these steps:

1. Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt and navigate to the ExpenseSample\bin folder.

2. Run installutil ExpenseSample.Hosts.WindowsServiceHost.exe

3. Open the Services MMC Snap-In and Start the service.

WARNING: Only one host can be active at a time. You cannot have more than one host running at the same time as there will be port conflicts.

To uninstall the Windows Service Host:

1. Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt and navigate to the ExpenseSample\bin folder.

2. Run installutil /u ExpenseSample.Hosts.WindowsServiceHost.exe

4. KNOWN ISSUES

1) You may sometimes receive errors for not being able to connect to the host when you run the solution. This is due to the clients running ahead before the host is fully initialized. Simply click REFRESH on the client to ensure no further errors are reported.

2) Workflow Instance Store and ExpenseSample database will go out-of-sync if you somehow managed to reset the ExpenseSample database when there are incomplete expenses. You will need to manually purge the records in the Workflow Instance Store when this happens.

5. MORE INFORMATION ON THE APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE

For more information on the Application Architecture, please download the
Application Architecture Guide V2 from
