  • 0

I have an asp.net web forms application that uses linq 2 sql. A lot of the controls are databound to linq datasource controls.

I want to clean up this application so I can easily use html5’s offline functionality.

I thought I should probably move my linq 2 sql statements from code behind to classes and then call to the class. Not sure?

What I would like to do, is have a clean separation and since MS is no longer promoting linq 2 sql, I would like to move to linq 2 entities.

Eventually, a while from now, I would like to convert this app into mvc, but one step at a time.

Would it be better to just make separate data classes for each form or just create database first linq to entity classes?

Thanks,

Sheri

    I would recommend reviewing the Repository Pattern suggestions here. I’ve been using the Repository Pattern with LINQ-to-SQL and ASP.NET MVC since 2009, and it has been very good for me for managing my data interactions, maintaining separation of concerns, and, especially, testing.
