Hi,
I would like to visualize files that are located on the server in a csla-client application.
This should work even with a local DataPortal!
Image you want the client to display a list representing a server-side document repository.
What would be the correct pattern, that would be Independent of the actual DataPortal config?
Maybe a second "Document-DataPortal"? Are there any samples I could have a look at?
Many thanks!
Hi,
I would create a command or readonly list to get the "server" side document folder structure - whether it is from a file system or a database.
Basically - use a list with 3 a minimum of 3 values: parent id, id, name and you can create any number of levels in a folder structure.
Thanks Jonny!
The "real" question was how to access the "real" server side - not the logical server side!
Designing a business object to retrieve the data is not the problem.
My logical server side is still on the client, and I must get data from the other side, if possible by using CSLA! Maybe some kind of a CSLA-powered WCF service?
You can combine a local/remote dataportal by using the RunLocal attribute on those "root" methods that should always run locally.
Then the DataPortal config may point to either a local or remote portal.
The other option is to create a totally separate WCF service to expose the folder structure and make your app a client.
