You are correct, the model of the employee object serves no purpose, and it has been removed from the example. To your second point, the code behind the webform is only using the model here as an example to demonstrate that we do in fact have an object of employee that contains every employee we retrieved from the database. Typically, you may bind a datagrid directly to the method defined in the BLL, however there may be times when you may want to set labels, textboxes, and etc. to the employee model. Finally, it does make sense to use the singleton pattern in which you have outlined. To your first point concerning the BLL.

First of all thanks for an awesome article, explanation doesn't get any simpler than this. My question is, in the BLL where you are getting all the employees, you are also creating a Model object and once you have retrieved all the records from the DAL, you loop through them and write the individual bits to this Model object. However, it seems it doesn't really serve any other purpose and also it seems that the same object is being overwritten so at the end of the loop, the model object (employeeModel) will contain only one value which is that of the last value of the list, could you please elaborate on the need of the model object in BLL in this method? Also, the GUI too seems to reference the Model layer, i would have supposed that it should only refer to BLL, what way it should really be? Lastly, would it have been of any advantage if the BLL object was singleton? Coz it seems, that if i needed to access the Employee data somewhere else in my GUI, I would be creating a new object everytime instead of using just one object, coz really EmployeeBLL is stateless as it just provides methods to retrieve and set data. I might be wrong but could you please shed some light on this.

Basically N-tier application architecture provides a model for developers to create a flexible and reusable application. By breaking up an application into tiers, developers only have to modify or add a specific layer, rather than have to rewrite the enitire application over, if they decide to change technologies or scale up. In the term "N-tier," "N" implies any number -- like 2-tier, or 4-tier; basically, any number of distinct tiers used in your architecture. Your correct that utility will run on the same machine.

Unless there is some remoting going on, this library will run on the same machine as the BLL, DLL and website. I’m confused as to why Utility is called a tier and not a layer.

SiteMinder protection and SSO is also available as a native HttpModule with CA SiteMinder Agent for IIS, a no charge download for SiteMinder customers on maintenance. The new agent supports the IIS7x integrated pipeline, enable 32-bit applications option, application request routing, and more. We posted an overview on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX-fd-MA8Tc which you can also find by searching YouTube for "siteminder iis".

It just like a file manager which has the function to manage our file. but, after I've read it, this app featured with the security in order to protect our file in such folder. So that with this AndroXplorer allows us to make easy to manage our file and keep in secure. We can protect our files by giving password. Besides that this application featured by sliding drawer with fast navigation. It's reall ineresting I think. thank to publisher who has a lot information for the Android app, especially for this AndroXplorer I think the AndroXplorer app is one of great application for Android.
