Book on multi-tier ADO.NET apps

[Bill Todd]

Can anyone recommend a good book on using remoting to build multi-tier
distributed apps with ADO.NET?

Thanks.

Hi Bill,

What about Ingo Rammer's Andvanced .NET Remoting (Apress)? This is a good
book for .NET remoting.

While in the same thread, can I ask you where I can get the definition of
multi-tier apps?

 

[Bill Todd]

A multi-tier app consists of two or more programs normally running on
different computers, possibly in different locations. The most common
example (which some do not consider a real multi-tier app) is a
classic two tier client/server database app. Here you have a client
application running on one PC and a database server, such as InterBase
or SQL Server, running on another machine.

What most people think of when someone says "multi-tier" is a three
tier app. This typically consists of a client application, a middle
tier application server and a database server. All three tiers usually
run on different machines. The middle tier application server can
handle various tasks such as business rule enforcement and data
consolidation or distribution.

Thanks a lot. I've just learnt something new again!
