Which Technologies for .net enterprise project?

Hi,

I'm a .net developer, but less experience on enterprise projects. I always research about how to develop an enterprise application. If you don't mind, please let me some idea on developing enterprise application in .net.

Cheers,

just use the appropriate technology; don't go with buzzwords and trends. for example in my employer our architect went for WCF on the server, but since the clients are still stuck with Win2K we couldn't utilise WCF's full capabilities and had to fall back to BasicHttpBinding in order for an ASMX web service client to make use of WCF services. now that he's gone we're realising that we should've just used old .NET remoting instead

Enterprise projects usually takes up more resource in terms of time and manpower, so research is a good way to start so that you can develop a strategy to do more with less, such as using third party tools or libraries. Of course I do not mean the core application but perhaps the user interface so that resources can be best used elsewhere.

Microsoft Architecture Center found at this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/ is a good place to start too. I also highly recommend Microsoft patterns & practices that can be found http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/practices/default.aspx. Be sure to check out their free libraries and factories.

A good architect should consider all the options before choosing the appropriate technologies. The basic what (is the application for), who (makes up the team), when (is the delivery), which (technologies can be use) and how (these technologies are applied) should be considered and weighed before coming to a decision.
