Which method to follow to Design Application in .Net?

I am given the task of designing our new project proposed to be developed in VB.net

Can any one suggest me to what guidelines and methods of designing i need to follow before designing the application.

Thanx in advance

Harish.

You should look into design patterns and MVC for starters - to see if they fit your requirements.

Where will i get
"design patterns and MVC for starters"

pls let me know.

Check out some of the other posts on design patterns in this forum and the book recomendations that they have. You can probably also find several tutorials in MSDN or doing a google search. It would be way to much information for a single post :eek:

i've just purchased this book on design patterns and intials thoughts on it are good:

Yep this is a good book as it provides examples in vb.net. The implementation of the MVC though will leave purists screaming!

what does MVC stand for? :confused:
(i haven't got that far in the book!)

Model View Controller - if you've got the book look it up in the index!

I wouldn't read this book cover to cover if i were you, just read the overview of each pattern so you have an idea of what is available. Then if you think one will fit your design read it in more detail. It's to much theory to take in all at once.

books at home.....i'm at work! ;)

i'm not sure i'm totally getting this design patterns thing. I've read upto the abstract factory and the other one and either the book is over complicating things or i am totally not getting it.
