Hi,

I started on vb6 and am now on .net

The area i'm trying to crack at the moment is class modules & business objects, layers within an application.

Ive been reading up on tutorials about n-tier applications OOP, SQL and have been looking at the northwind database.

Basically theres not enough tutorials on business objects out there i can only find 2, ive searched & searched.

Have you got any more advice that can be of help to me, i'm on my way but not fast enough.

I think what your asking about is application design- which is impacted by your language but is mostly not language centric.

You need to first read a book on Object Oriented Design and make sure you have a good understanding of that before you really "jump in" to VB.NET design.

I guess I don't really understand what you are looking for.

I mean- a Business Object implements business rules. Which go into which object depend on your design.

Hi,

There's a very good introduction to N-tier application architecture on http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/011023.htm. Also, there are a couple of links inside that article that lead to definitions of terms that are used in object-oriented application programming.

You might also want to look into this nice UML tutorial http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/UML_Tutorial.htm if you plan on developing good business objects. It walks you through the basic of data modelling and even has 5 white papers in PDF format for additional info on the UML models.
