Queries on Repository Layer in MVC application
asp.net-mvc,repository-pattern,poco
Usually, the Repository is the method of accessing the data and is therefore just an implementation technique of the DAL. I'd combine them both as the DAL. In terms of other models, I assume you mean the classes that correspond with your data items. These should also live in...
How much repository interfaces must created in Repository Pattern?
java,c#,design-patterns,repository-pattern
There is no must . You create as many as the app needs.You could have a repository interface for each business object and a generic interface. Something like interface ICRUDRepo<T> //where T is always a Domain object { T get(GUid id); void Add(T entity); void Save(T entity); } //then it's...
When to expose an IEnumerable instead of an ICollection?
asp.net-mvc,entity-framework,ef-code-first,repository-pattern
But [with ICollection] I can add new order in Controller without using service or repository.

asp mvc - generic repository and unit of work - override repository method
c#,asp.net-mvc,repository-pattern,unit-of-work
I think I understand this better after some time, so figured I would close it. I didn't need to "override" anything, I just needed to add the additional work in my unit of work class (duh), and then call the insert. Thanks for the thought provoking responses.
What category is repository pattern in?
oop,design-patterns,repository,repository-pattern
Repository can be viewed as a special kind of Façade (structural) but also as a special kind of Factory (creational). Also, as the Repository often expose collection-like interface, then it might be a special application of Iterator (behavioral). What I am trying to say is that neither those categories nor...
DDD Repository: Use DAO for separation?
domain-driven-design,repository-pattern,dao

Proper way to setup MVC project structure that won't have any dependencies [closed]
asp.net,asp.net-mvc-5,ninject,entity-framework-6,repository-pattern
It might be difficult to test your bll if if you can't mock the objects within the dal, so using interfaces and di would be useful in my opinion. You also have the option of swapping out your dal for a different dal if you loosely couple it. The interfaces...
Why is my C# Inheritance not working with the Generic Repository Pattern
c#,asp.net-mvc,repository-pattern
DeleteRepository contains the Read method, as it inherits from ReadRepository. The issue is you're local variable is of type IDeleteRepository<Course> - this is no Read method on IDeleteRepository<Course>. If you changed your declaration to the correct type, you would have access to both methods: DeleteRepository<Course> deleteRepository = new DeleteRepository<Course>(new DbContext("SchoolDemoEntities"));...
Unit Of Work in Generic Repository
c#,asp.net-mvc-4,repository-pattern,unit-of-work,onion-architecture
Managing transactions in the repository is definitely not the standard way to do it, as it removes the possibility to implement business logic that spans multiple repositories (or multiple actions on the same repository) and is required to be executed atomically. I would try to keep the transaction management on...
Where to put the method. Service layer ( BL ) over repository?
c#,asp.net-mvc,architecture,repository-pattern,service-layer
In general repository should encapsulate only the logic of accessing database (initialization of context, transactions, connections and etc.). It is very common to create a generic CRUD repository and reuse it for all your business entities. All the business related logic should be placed in business layer(service layer). The major...

Implement EntitySet as IList
The return type of the implementation of the interface must match the return type declared in the interface. This is called return type covariance and it is not supported by C#.

Updating navigation properties that are collections in Entity Framework with Repository pattern
c#,entity-framework,repository-pattern
Yes there is a better approach. For a new person, use: _context.People.Add(myPerson); //myPerson can have Pets attached This will traverse all sub objects and mark them as NEW. When updating person, after calling the above code, you need to set which pet objects are modified/deleted. I learned this in a...
Should concrete service depend on concrete repository or interface?
c#,entity-framework,dependency-injection,repository-pattern
I always go with repository interfaces. First reason is testability - DbContext and DbSet<T> are hard to mock. So, unit-testing of services becomes really hard, if even possible. Second reason is IQueryable<T> being exposed by EF. It makes data-access logic spread over whole application, which violates SRP and makes fixing...
Accessing repository pattern through one more layer called service in Laravel
laravel,service,laravel-5,repository-pattern
When you access class variables, you need to do $this->some_var, not $this->$some_var. In the latter case, PHP thinks you're trying to use the string value of $some_var, and it can't - so that's why it's complaining about not being able to convert to string. Just changing that should work right...
Using Doctrine's EntityManager in a repository design
php,doctrine2,zend-framework2,repository-pattern
There are several ways to do this, of course. The typical way you'd do this kind of thing in a ZF2/D2 project would be to start with DoctrineORMModule. That module exposes Doctrine's EntityManager via the ZF2 Service Manager in a variety of handy ways (you can $sm->get('doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default') to explicitly get...
Using Iqueryable with Generic Repository doesn't find Records

IQueryable in Repository
c#,entity-framework,repository-pattern
Its completely OK to use anything for private implementation. It does not exposed to the clients of your repositories via API, so it does not affect them in any way.

The easy way: public function assignToAuthor($postId, $authorId) { $post = $this->find($postId); // or whatever method you use to find by id $post->author_id = $authorId; } Now, the above implies that you know the foreign key author_id of the relation.
