Asp.Net Program Architecture
- by Pino
I've just taken on a new Asp.Net MVC application and after opening it up I find the following,
[Project].Web
[Project].Models
[Project].BLL
[Project].DAL
Now, something thats become clear is that there is the data has to do a hell of a lot before it makes it to the View (DatabaseDALRepoBLLConvertToModelControllerView). The DAL is Subsonic, the repositorys in the DAL return the subsonic entities to the BLL which process them does crazy things and converts them into a Model (From the .Models) sometimes with classes that look like this
public DataModel GetDataModel(EntityObject Src)
{
var ReturnData = new DataModel():
ReturnData.ID = Src.ID;
ReturnDate.Name = Src.Name;
//etc etc
}
Now, the question is, "Is this complete overkill"? Ok the project is of a decent size and can only get bigger but is it worth carrying on with all this? I dont want to use AutoMapper as it just seems like it makes the complication worse. Can anyone shed any light on this?
