Chapter 1. A Framework for Enterprise Applications

The solution you will develop throughout this book is for a fictitious company whose human resources department needs to approve, deny, and report on vacation or holiday time requests by their employees. The solution will be developed using Visual Studio 2008 and implemented as an ASP.NET 3.5 application written in C# with SQL Server 2005 as the back end.

The concept is simple, and the solution is designed to be flexible enough that you can extend it for your own business needs. This chapter defines the requirements for the project and introduces how the solution will be architected. Each chapter details specific requirements and implements a solution in a three-layer architecture: the user interface (UI), the business logic layer (BLL), and the data access layer (DAL).
