Separated DLLs for user controls

Hi,

By default VS.NET generates just one DLL contains all code behinds and
userconrols.
Is it possible to have VS.NET partitione them in their own assemblies for
granular security?

Thanks,
AliYes, you can do it a few ways

1. grab the control inside the current project and compile it using the
command line compiler, specifying the \out parameter
2. Create the control in its own project then reference it back into the
original project

I think 1 project = 1 DLL. Place them in separate projects if you want
multiple dll's.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for posting in the community!
Based on my understanding, you're wondering whether its ok to make all the
compoenent classes such as page class , usercontrol classes and other
components classes separately in different dll assemblies and which are
used in the same web application , yes?

I've review the other messages and I think A Lonely Programmer has provided
the informative suggestion, you can manually compile some of the components
classes in different dlls or even make some certain separate projects for
each dll. Then reference them in the main ASP.NET web application project.
For example:
Project A:
make page classes in dllA

ProjectB:
make Control classes in dllB

ProjectC
make other non-UI components in dllC

Main ASP.NET Project?
add all the above assebmlies as referenced and use
the classes in them.

How do you think so. Please check out those suggestions, if you have any
further questions, please feel free to post here.

Serialization Question

Hi,
I have a collection class called Printers that implement the ICollection and
IEnumerable. This class contains a private ArrayList that holds the Printer
objects. The printer class is a serializable class that contains only the
public name attribute.
After serialization, I want to get the following xml structure;
<Printers>
<Printer>
<Name></Name>
</Printer>
<Printers>
When I want to serialize this Printers collection, I get instead something
like;
<ArrayOfPrinter>
<Printer>
<Name></Name>
</Printer>
</ArrayOfPrinter>
If I take out the ICollection and IEnumerable away, (turning the class into
a normal one) and make the ArrayList public, then I get the following;
<Printers>
<NameOfMyArrayList>
<Printer>
<Name></Name>
</Printer>
</NameOfMyArrayList>
</Printers>
For clarity, I don't include any code at the moment.
Any help appreciated,
EthemHello Ethem,
I'm assuming you mean XmlSerialization... Given that, either the XmlRoot
(if its the top level node) or XmlElement attributes will work.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, my collection class implements
ICollection and IEnumerable. If the collection implements these interfaces,
you cannot define an XmlRoot attribute (or any other attribute) on the class
level. Same applies if you derive the collection class from the
CollectionBase.
For my problem, I found a workaround in the following site:
http://dotnet.org.za/armand/archive...09/21/4164.aspx
It seems that you can make it programmatically instead of decleratively.
Thanks,
Ethem

Serializing between two projects

Hello All:

Say I have a solution with two projects (Project1 and Project2) and each
project contains a class (Project1 contains Class1 and Project2 contains
Class2).

The projects don't reference each other. Here's my question: can I
serialize Class1 and use the serialized XML in Class2? How would Class2
de-serialize the XML to retrieve the Class1's properties? I don't see how I
can do this since Project2 doesn't even know about Class1.

The example in MSDN (the Purchase Order Example) shows how to do this but
with classes in the same project. I want to do it with classes in different
projects.

TIA,

interface, sure. It should deserialize just fine.

Jason,

Thanks for writing.

Class1 and Class2 are not the same class. Class2 uses Class1's properties.
For example, Class2 could have a method call where is needs some information
stored in Class1, i.e.

Sub Method2(TextValue as String, SomeClass1Value as Class1.Property1)

'Do something using the Class1's Property1...

End Sub

I need to pass the information contained in Class1 in Project1 to a method
in Class2 in Project2. I can't allow Project2 to reference Project1.

Kevin,

Thanks. How would you handle this: DailyReport serializes its data to a
file (or memory stream or whatever). Now, another class (let's call this
class MonthlyReport) - in a different project - wants to de-serialize
DailyReport's data so that it can use it. Assume that MonthlyReport does not
have the same methods, properties, events, etc as DailyReport. How would
you create the XmlSerializer in the Deserializer method in MonthlyReport? Is
this even possible since it has different properties, methods, etc than
DailyReport?

I know how to do this when the class that performs the serialization and
de-serialization is the same class; I'm wondering if it can be done when the
class that serializes is different from the class that de-serializes.

Thanks for all of your help.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks. I've already read these. The examples that they give are for
classes that all exist in the same project. I am asking about serializing a
class in one project and de-serializing it in another project.

Serializing between two projects

Hello All:
Say I have a solution with two projects (Project1 and Project2) and each
project contains a class (Project1 contains Class1 and Project2 contains
Class2).
The projects don't reference each other. Here's my question: can I
serialize Class1 and use the serialized XML in Class2? How would Class2
de-serialize the XML to retrieve the Class1's properties? I don't see how I
can do this since Project2 doesn't even know about Class1.
The example in MSDN (the Purchase Order Example) shows how to do this but
with classes in the same project. I want to do it with classes in different
projects.
TIA,

interface, sure. It should deserialize just fine.

Jason,
Thanks for writing.
Class1 and Class2 are not the same class. Class2 uses Class1's properties.
For example, Class2 could have a method call where is needs some information
stored in Class1, i.e.
Sub Method2(TextValue as String, SomeClass1Value as Class1.Property1)
'Do something using the Class1's Property1...
End Sub
I need to pass the information contained in Class1 in Project1 to a method
in Class2 in Project2. I can't allow Project2 to reference Project1.

How. I've never done this.

Take a look at the sample I posted in reply to the other thread you started.

Kevin,
Thanks. How would you handle this: DailyReport serializes its data to a
file (or memory stream or whatever). Now, another class (let's call this
class MonthlyReport) - in a different project - wants to de-serialize
DailyReport's data so that it can use it. Assume that MonthlyReport does no
t
have the same methods, properties, events, etc as DailyReport. How would
you create the XmlSerializer in the Deserializer method in MonthlyReport? I
s
this even possible since it has different properties, methods, etc than
DailyReport?
I know how to do this when the class that performs the serialization and
de-serialization is the same class; I'm wondering if it can be done when the
class that serializes is different from the class that de-serializes.
Thanks for all of your help.

Hi Joe,
I can see where this is heading. Read the following articles and references:

Hi Kevin,
Thanks. I've already read these. The examples that they give are for
classes that all exist in the same project. I am asking about serializing a
class in one project and de-serializing it in another project.
