Mark is right. YOu've got a SERIOUS redesign of your application in front of you. You'll be rewriting about half of your code to do what you want. This should have been a design requirement from Day 1, not after you ship your app!
If you can't see how an n-tier structure gives you the modularity you're looking for, I'm afraid that just reading a couple of articles isn't going to get the point acrossed.
By splitting up your application into seperate classes, such as a Data Layer, you're actually giving yourself the .DLL's you're looking for!

You have but one choice here - It's either do a redesign or you live with the 20MB download.

You're still missing the point entirely and why Mark was saying this. You have to break this application down into more discrete modules, LIKE a Data Layer, or Business Logic Layer, or this, or that. The whole point is that you MUST modularize this code.

Create a solution and start adding the appropriate project types to it. I don't get what you mean by "avoiding cross-referencing". If you keep code self-contained, that is for instance, a Data Access layer, then there shouldn't be any "cross-referencing" if I'm guessing at your meaning correctly.
If you have a module that calculates a payment schedule, that would be it's own class and could end up in it's own .DLL. DLL's are created on a per-project basis, usually. Now, if you add to that class, another class file that deals with som other financials, then you would end up with 2 classes in the same project, probably called Financials and end up with a Financials.DLL.

Though I know how to break down my apps into modular pieces, the article was good for a little refresher

It's not the number of projects that is important, but how the application is logically separated into layers. If the application is properly layered, putting the layers in separate projects can be done in a matter of minutes.
It's not the contents of the layers that is important either. A three-tier-application has layers that are logical for that kind of application, but for a different kind of application the layers are different.
If your classes has a clearly defined interface, they can quite easily be put in separate projects. If the classes are only used as containers for the program components, then you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Using layering.

No it's not a crime to come looking for answers to your design issue.

n-tier doesn't have to mean "gui/bus/data" as you put it. I look at it as separating the inputs and outputs from the business layer. The business layer is the glue that holds it all together. The GUI is an input/output layer, just like the database is another type of input/output layer. I tend to look at it as hub and spoke design rather than tiers - It happens that the most common is a hub (the business layer) with two spokes (the GUI and the Data).
In your application the GUI is a spoke, MapPoint is another spoke, if you deal with files then that's another spoke.
If you can identify each of these spokes then you can identify what can be split out to other DLLs. Just remember, for anything to communicate with another spoke, it must go through the hub as each of the spokes should be designed to be self contained.
Once you have this you can start adding more spokes in future (say you need a Web front end, or a mobile version, or you start supporting Oracle Spatial, etc.)
vladdy77 wrote: Needless to say that I came from different environment but I guess you "pro's" won't tolerate that.
I think most of us have, at one point, been in a monolithic project that was getting out of control. Those that have now have a severe dislike, even hatred, for that model (also called the Giant Ball of Mud Design Pattern/Paradigm) because it caused so much fustration. I was, for 4 years, on a monolithic project and for 3 of those 4 years I would be trying to persuade people that we really needed to split up the code in to manageable blocks.

Exactly. n-tier was never meant to mean this. This is just one (common) use of n-tier architecture. Ironically (speaking mathematically) all systems are n-tier.

That brings back so many bad memories.

Dear friends,
I am using the reflection class in .net to write a reflector which is a simple program that show the content of a assembly.but i have a problem.
if a .dll reference another .dll and they are both in a same directory ,the LoadFrom() method solve my problem.but if they are in different directories i have to browse the referenced one and load it.
Despite of loading the referenced one in application domain,the GetTypes() function of assembly class insist on throwing exception.Why?.I don't know.
I would apprecite your helping hand.

What exception is it throwing? Have you wrapped it in a try/catch block and debugged it? Look at the inner exception as well as the exception.

hi,
thanks for your reply,
this is the message "System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information."
I tried to handle the exception by try /catch. after exception i know that i have to browse the referenced dll to application domain by Assembly.LoadFile() or AssemblyLoadFrom().it loads.but when i re enter to the GetTypes() method of assembly object,it throw again an exception.I mean it does not understand that the referenced dll is in domain.

I'm developing a serviced component in C#, this component is configured as transaction disabled, each method will either be transactional or not - transactional methods will use SWC ServiceConfig to create a transactional context.
The problem I've found concerns use of the Inheritance property;
If I set the property to Ignore, a new context is created which is not transactional (IsInTransaction = false) and security is not enabled in the new context (which is expected).
If I set the property to Inherit, a new context is created which again is not transactional (IsInTransaction = false) but this time security is enabled in the new context (ok, inherits this from the existing context).
If I don't set the property at all, a new context is created which is transactional (IsInTransaction = true) and security is not enabled in the new context (not sure what to expect at this point  .
The documentation states that this property is defaults to "Inherit", from my experience this doesn't seem to be bourne out - is it a bug 
Environment: XP Pro SP2, VS.NET 2003 SP1, .NET v1.1.4322
I've trawled the internet and not found anything, anyone else come across this??

Hi,
I am developing an application using the SCSF. I want to display a logon view for users to logon before displaying the Shell form and continue to load the other modules. If the logon fails I want to exit the application and not show the Shell form at all.
I have listed in the ProfileCatalog.xml the order of the modules to be loaded. The "logon" module is the first. But how can I terminate the the application halfway through? It does not respond to "Application.Exit()". It just continues to load the other modules. I also tried to throw an exception but I do not want the exception to be displayed as it is not an error.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a few clickonce apps deployed on company intranet. Recently I experiment a problem with user scoped settings. When I published a new version all my user settings are set to the ones in App.config (default values), this problem didn't happen with previous publishes. This should never happen as Microsoft claims. After that I tried to re-create the problem by changing a lot of things, tempering with the assembly version and guid but I couldn't, user settings are kept.
More recently I did a very small update to the logic in a class, nothing to do with settings. The same problem came again, my user settings were overwritten with default!!!!!!!!
Is there anyone out there have the same problem or solution please help?
Is it framework bug???
Thanks in advance.

hi all
while creating windows service can we use config file, if we can so where we will put this file either in "bin\debug\" or in "bin\release"
i have put my file in bin/release folder . but after creating setup when i start this service so it doest not start ,,, any i dea ?
hello
|
|
|
|
|
Put the config file in the same directory as the executable it configures.
|
|
|
|
|
Your setup would normaly install the service to a folder in "program files" ([Manufacturer]\[AppName]). By default, your app.config file should reside here too.

Hi Frndz,
I have seen many medium & big size co's prefer C# over VB.NET in various web app.
Why is it so?? Because I do not see any reason for this preference as the compilers & CLRs same for both the language.
So still why do co prefer C# over VB.NET?
Regards,
Vipul Mehta

VB6 was and is a joke. C# carries an association with C++ ( which it does not deserve ) and VB.NET carries the stigma of VB6, which is in part deserved, as a lot of VB6 nastiness does exist in VB.NET, and a lot of people use VB.NET as VB6, by ignoring the new framework features.
But, you're right, in the hands of a skilled programmer, it's rare to find a project where one language does it better than the other.
