| "Controller" clarification (5 replies, VIP) |
| microsoft.public.dotnet.distributed_apps |
| I'm finding the term "Controller" quite confusing, since in the MVC design pattern it's supposed to represent only the input part of the process, whereas in the UIP application block a "Controller" seems to be, in fact, the "Model" part of MVC.

| Web Service Return a Class (3 replies) |
| microsoft.public.dotnet.distributed_apps |
| I thought I had this, but I guess I don't. I would like my VB .NET web service to return an object, and a collection of that object. I understand that I have to serialize the object and its collection, but I guess I don't know how to return what I want. In a distributed app, I am under the impression you create a class, and use a web service to expose limited functionality to that class, that is w... |
