Hi,

I have an application which is running for two years now. As client
ask us to do redesign of application with new .net3.0 features, can
anybody suggest the tools, concept, patterns, which can be used. Below
is the scenario-

The application is web application which is using Ajax as of now.
Business Layer consumes web service and interacts with com. for DAL
Microsoft Data block is used.
The application is using reports, which are .net reports as the
reports are interactive. Report is divided into section each section
is having icon and on click on that icon that portion is expanded.

I am unable to think out of box, I can only point out loop holes in
application but unable to suggest new design.
Any pointers in this will be great help.

Thanks
Ruchi
 
..net 3.0 is only .net 2.0 + WCF + WPF + WF.
As you are running a web application WPF will not be of interesst for you.

WCF might be interessting because you are consuming web services.
You could migrate those services to WCF - this could give you more
flexibility like secure transfer / session handling / transactions (to be
honest: those features will only run with enhanced bindings but for those you
loose the interoperability).
Of course WCF seems to be the future so I recommend the mirgration (it's not
much work in general).

WF is very intersting if you are working with complex buisness logic but it
takes some "getting used to it" and is not that much supported in the
community (everyone is catching up to WPF/WCF).

Apart from this you won't find any new features in .net3.0 (ok I don't
really know if there were some improvements to ASP.NET) - so maybe you may
want to check .net 3.5 - LINQ alone is just great.
