WCF Revisited
Well waiting for my brother to get back to me on things I thought I would start converting the project directly to .Net 4 and WPF.
After I started this I realized how much of a pain this was with Veronica's application and almost contemplated rolling everything back. But then it occurred to me. The objects I'm using in my brothers application are a lot more 1-dimensional and where they aren't I don't really care. If I went all the way like I did with Veronica's application I would have a few more things handed to me, but it would take a lot more time and I don't really need those things. In my brothers application I have 2 things in my favour:
1 - He isn't running the application yet so I can change whatever the heck I want.
2 - I never bothered defining relationships for the 1 to many parts. The relationships exists in theory, but not at the object level, so I can turn off lazy loading without too much overhead. Combine that with some of the other things I've done like caching the larger databases that are used often and not returning results in search screens until some filtering has been done and it should be fast and efficient.
Anyway... back to that. I'd like to finish updating all of the objects and building in all of the WCF methods before I call it a day here.
