N Tier Architecture ?

[Silent Ocean]

Hi

1. I am in process of designing N-Tier Application using ASP.NET. Can
anyone guide me the right material or microsoft guidelines document
which I can used in designing the N-Tier application.

2. I would also like to know whether to use Web Services or .Net
Remoting in designing N-Tier application
3. General 3 Tier architecture has 3 Tier : Presentation Layer ,
Business Layer and Database Layer
How this 3 layers are seperated out in N-Tier architecture.

Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Silent Ocean

Regarding Web Services vs Remoting: my personal opinion is that designing
Web Services is simpler task than designing of the components using Remoting

Actually rather than simpler, I like to view it as,

"It really depends on your needs".

Remoting tends to be more tightly coupled, but web services architecture has
plenty of holes you can fall into.

Here is a bit I wrote about WS architecture a while back -
