Hi,
Where would one start for this type of application:
I want to create an vb.net container application that has
the gives the end user the ability to install and
uninstall plugins or add-in modules. As the user installs
the various components, additional functionality to the
application is integrated. How would I structure or
orchestrate a project plan that makes use of add-in
components (that I create)? I plan on building all of the
components which will range from xml web services to non-
web service add-ins. The main reason I want to take a
component bases approach is for scalability and it will be
easier when i need to update the components.
This application will need to perform several thousand
transactions per minute. The architecture I am thinking of
using is 3 tier with both a windows client and a web based
client. The data is stored on a san type, fiber channel
optimized, cluster of 5 servers running Win 2003 data
center 64bit + SQL server (also 64bit).
Is COM+ a better solution to load balancing than using a
hardware solution like Netscaler? Perhaps they work
together? Perhaps they have nothing to do with each other?
I know what the app does and have a fair concept of
the .net framework however, I just don't understand how to
plan for it.
We have dropped a TON of coin into 64bit servers and would
like to optimize the data access tier code for the new
64bit environment. If anyone could, please direct me
towards writing 64bit optimized code using
vb.net/asp.net/ado.net.
I know I am asking a lot-- thank you for your time and
consideration in helping me.
Regards,
Michael Crawford.
