I was curious how to architect a page in my solution.
We have a result listing page which displays a list of address that are generated as results of a search. In addition to displaying this list in a ListView we would like to display a google map of all the results.
Currently, we have a ReadOnlyListBase object which is bound to the ListView. I am having trouble figuring out what would be the best way to display the list of address in the google map.
I was thinking of serializing the list of address to JSON and then using that output to display on the map. However, the book says that we should go through a DTO via WCF because serialzining a BO directly to JSON is bad practice. My question is that if i do that I would have to hit the DB twice for the search results and this might get expensive down the road.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
