Hi All, I've been thinking about n-tier design...
I have a business class. This class has properties for all the underlying database fields. There's a method called GetByID() that fetches 1 record based on the PK for that table. Great. I can update the properties and call Save() which sends an update to the SQL table. But suppose I want to search for a range of records. So I have a method called GetBySurname() that can return multiple records. This method returns a Recordset/array/SqlDataReader etc. But this doesn't really 'fit'. The business object represents 1 record. What's a nice solution? One way would be to implement SkipNext() & Eof() methods that let you move through the data, but sometimes I want a Recordset if I'm passing the data to a grid. Thoughts? -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
