MSSQL Data Transformation Services

Now working with large amounts of data that must be exported, transformed and imported, DTS Services are being utilized:

Search This Site! FIXED!” “publish

Search This Site!

This is a great site search — it uses a temporary MySQL table to cache data, so

it’s fast, it automatically updates when appropriate, so it stays

accurate. It’s only downside that I see is that, by default, it has a minimum word

length of 4 characters, so, for instance, searching for "php" would find no

hits! Sheesh!

It’s actually a "feature" of MySQL, though:

"By

default, MySQL creates full-text indexes from 4 letters words. If you

want to change these settings, to say – 3 letters, just set

ft_min_word_len=3 then restart the MySQL server and rebuild your

indexes (MX Site Search should already do this automatically from time

to time). This is supported only for MySQL 4.0 higher."

Too often, hosts don’t provide enough control over the server to make features like this useful, but MeWebHost.com is great! While I was not able to make this adjustment myself, they were very helpful, and did it for me!

Build a Data Access Layer with the VS 2005 Dataset Designer by Brian Noyes” “publish

Build a Data Access Layer with the Visual Studio 2005 DataSet Designer

October 13, 2005

A good data access layer is critical for most business applications, whether that layer resides on a middle tier application server, a web server or on the client. Data access layers tend to involve a lot of error-prone, repetitive coding if you try to do it by hand. You can alleviate some of that by designing a good set of base and helper classes to encapsulate the repeating patterns, or by using a code generation tool. However, you still usually have to write all the data access methods by hand for the ad-hoc queries that service large parts of your application.

Summary

When building a web application creating the DAL should be one of your first steps, occurring before you start creating your presentation layer. With Visual Studio, creating a DAL based on Typed DataSets is a task that can be accomplished in 10-15 minutes without writing a line of code. The tutorials moving forward will build upon this DAL. In the next tutorial we’ll define a number of business rules and see how to implement them in a separate Business Logic Layer.

DotNet: Web Browser / IE Clone” “publish

Sometimes, either for displaying help, or possibly an order page, you might want to embed a web browser directly within your Windows application. Or, possibly, you may just want to build your own special, single-purpose web browser, possibly for display at a kiosk.

Here is an article that explains how to do that:

(About the author)

Generally, however, I am disappointed that the Visual Studio 2005 does not have any newer/better pure .Net way of doing this; it still involves accessing the IE components via COM.

I’d like to make this a good master list of articles and methods, so if you have any useful contributions, please feel free to leave me comments!
