C# Programming Object Model

The next few sections discuss the overall approach to programming the database interface, business objects and backeend systems. We are considering the following technologies:

• SQL CE synchronized to a backend system (See http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/compact.aspx and look for Synchroniz corporate data)

• NHibernate (http://nhforge.org/Default.aspx) and possibly Fluent NHibernate (http://fluentnhibernate.org/) for database business objects.

• SpecExpress framework for specifying property rules validation (http://code.google.com/p/specexpress/)

Visual Design

We are using Menus and tabbed panels within tabbed panels. Until we have time, look at the design for more info.

Object to Database Integration Model

FORM CONTAINS:

• HashMap<FieldRomanNumeral,FieldData{Field Information, List<SquareData>}>

• HashMap<FieldRomanNumeral|SquareDesignation, SquareData{Square Information, List<BaseLocusData>}>

Incidentally the List<SquareData> should match the tabs shown under the squares tab for that Field. Can we map it directly?

Also, the List<BaseLocusData> maps the the list of tabs showing the loci - even though these are not "controls" each BaseLocusData element will contain controls.
