Asp.Net MVC Web App on 3-Tier for Beginners – (Part-1)

Objective: The objective of this article series is to make the beginners understand how

the data moves from one layer to another layer in Asp.Net MVC web app when it is

designed on 3-layers.

Overview:

Q. Do you want to see a live web app built on 3-Tier arch using Asp.Net MVC, jQuery,

Bootstrap, C#.Net, Entity Framework and MS SQL Server?

A. Here it is http://linkhub.manzoorthetrainer.com/

Q. Are you really excited to learn how to develop this 3-tier web app on Asp.Net MVC

and Entity Framework?

A. Then you are going to learn it here with me from scratch.

In this article we are going to learn how to break requirements into objects and

find relation among them. We will then learn designing database out of this objects and

relationships. Moving forward we will also see how to design a basic 3-Tier architecture

of the project and implement various layers. We are going to learn implementation of

business object layer using Entity Framework and data access layer using repository

design pattern and Entity Framework.

For user interface we will see Asp.Net MVC, jQuery and Bootstrap. We will learn how

bootstrap makes our application responsive. We will also see how to implement custom

sorting and paging. Moving ahead you will learn forms validations and business rules

validations as well. We are going to secure our app using custom membership provider

and role provider and publish it on web.

In Advance operations we will try to understand how to implement transactions, bind

multiple models to single view and Ajaxifiying our Asp.Net web App. Finally we will also

see few SSRS client side reporting.

Tools Requirements:

SQL Server 2008 Express or Higher

VS2013 express or higher

Target Audience:

Should be good at OOPs through C#.Net

Should have good understanding of Asp.Net MVC and Entity Framework

Disclaimer:

The sample code is solely based on my self-study, research results and based on any

practical project. The code is just for the purpose to explain the overall architecture only.

If you want to use the code in your project, you need to enrich and modify it to meet

your own need. In addition, the CRUD operations in the sample project is very primitive

with basic features, you can enrich them with some advanced features.

Introduction: Link hub is a web portal where a user can submit their portal URL under

a specific category to be shared on link hub. Admin can approve or reject the URL

submitted by the user and in each case an email is sent out to the user. Once the link is

approve it will be available on the link hub portal.

This is what we are going to achieve:

Screen-1. User Registration

Screen-2: User Login

Screen-3: Submit URL After Login





4 | P a g e

Screen-4: URL approval by Admin

Screen-5: Browse All The Approved URL





5 | P a g e

Note: In future articles we will also try to do see some extra features whose screen are

not described here.

2: Analysis And Design (Requirements Gathering, Identifying Objects And

Relationships, Designing Database, Database Implementation)

Let us say that the client has given us a brief requirements or you can also called it as

user story i.e., They need to develop a portal called as LINKHUB…

Link hub is a web portal where a user can submit their portal URL under a specific

category to be shared on link hub. Admin can approve or reject the URL submitted by

the user and in each case an email is sent out to the user. Once the link is approve it will

be available on the link hub portal.

Step-1: From the above requirements let us define the roles and responsibilities first

Defining the Roles & Responsibilities Roles:

User

o Can Browse URLs

o Can Register

o Can Submit A URL

Admin

o Can CRUD Category

o Can View All Users

o Can ApproveOrReject URL

Step-2: Now let us identify the object

Objects





6 | P a g e

User

Category

URL

Step-3: Now we need to find the relationship among these objects

Relationships

Category : Url (1:M) (As a single category can have many urls)

User : Url (1:M) (As a single user can upload many urls)

Step-4: Once we have objects and relationships with us, we can go designing the data

base with the 3 key rules of database design

3 Key Rules For Database Design

1. One table for each object

2. For 1:M relationship. 1 will become master and M will become child i.e., primary key

of 1 will act as a foreign key for M.

Eg:Department : Employees is 1 : M Department

3. M:M relationship. Both the objects will become master and there will be one more new

table called as transaction table or child table with primary keys of masters as foreign

Keys in it.

Eg:Student : Course is M : M





7 | P a g e

With these above three rules our data base design would look something like this and

role column in the tbl_User table will differentiate a normal user as ‘U’ and Admin as ‘A’

LinkHubDb

Let us implement it:





8 | P a g e

Step-5: Once we have our datadase ready we need to insert few meaning full and

dummy records which will help us in further implementation process.

Understanding The Architecture:





9 | P a g e

Data Access Layer: In the above architecture our application’s back end is MS SQL

Server and to access the data from the database we are using ADO.Net Entity

Framework and we call it as Data Access Layer (DAL).

Business Logic Layer: Before I store data into the database or after reading data from

the database I need to perform some business logic on the data. For example I want to

store the salary of an employee and it is $25 per hour and say he is worked for 50hrs.

So, his salary would be calculated as 25X50=1250$ which is called as business logic and

this logical code will go to business logic layer and it will be developed using C#.Net

programming language. So, here it is Business Logic Layer (BLL).





10 | P a g e

UI: Now, how do I interact with the application? Yes, the interface from which I interact

with the application is called as user interface of presentation logic layer where we see

all the form controls like textboxes, buttons, grids, etc., and we are going to use Asp.Net

MVC 5 to implement our presentation Logic layer (PLL).

Business Object Layer: And finally how do I pass the data from one layer to another

layer? We need a container to store the data so that we can pass that container to other

layers and that container is called as business object and they reside in business object

layer (BOL).





11 | P a g e

Therefore we need to have a solution which should contain the following four project

1. UI (Asp.Net MVC Web App)

2. BOL (C# Class Library to generate a dll)

3. BLL (C# Class Library to generate a dll)

4. DAL (C# Class Library to generate a dll)
