Recommendations, Asp.Net ObjectDataSource bind result of webservice call
- by DerDres
I need recommendations on how to solve / structure a solution to the following problem.
In an asp.net web application i'll have to visualise results returned from a web service call. Im planning to use a repeater server control and bind this with an objectdatasource.
The service returns a result of the form:
public class SearchResult : IExtensibleDataObject
{
[DataMember]
public Guid SearchId { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int Offset { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int TotalResults { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public IList<ResultDocumentData> Documents { get; set; }
It is the collection of Documents that I need to visualise with a repeater which will be associated with an ObjectDataSource. The datasource should work on the type ResultDocumentData; the collection property in the class SearchResult.
I think I need to wrap the call to the webservice in a dataaccess layer class, that will have a getDocuments method returning an IList, that the ObjectDataSource can use as its SelectMethod.
I think I could make this work, but I would like to know how to do it in an elegant way. Can you give me general recommendations and/or recommendations for the following:
WebProject Folderstructure + naming
Naming conventions for the name of the service wrapper class
Creating the service reference
