ASP.NET Time Tracker Starter Kit Documentation
 

Introduction
The ASP.NET Time Tracker Starter Kit application is a line-of-business application allowing users to track the time worked on projects.   Additionally, the application enables project managers to better track the status of projects they manage by viewing user’s time entries and detailed reports for those time entries.   It also demonstrates a host of developer "best practices" to follow when building ASP.NET applications.   Please review the code below to see how the application was architected and built.

All code contained in the ASP.NET Time Tracker Starter Kit download package is free for use in your own applications. Some images are copyrighted, however; please see below .

Presentation Tier
The presentation layer is responsible for the user interface and communicates directly with the business logic layer.   Separating the presentation layer from the rest of the application enables the development of different user interfaces (i.e. Web Forms, Windows Forms, Mobile Devices) that all use the same business logic and database access code.

Business Logic Layer
The business logic layer separates the code specific to the application, or the way a company does business, from the user interface and the database-specific code.   Other line of business applications a company builds can use the business logic layer if needed, maximizing code re-use.

The Time Tracker application uses lightweight classes to wrap information that is returned from the database access layer.   The TimeEntry class is a good example of one of the classes used in the Time Tracker application.
