MVC issue - passing back a dataset

[jscontreras]

Hi All,

I'm kinda of stuck. I'm designing an MVC framework. I'm trying to pass back a dataset back to a dataview, but I having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to do this. Don't know why?

I'm able to create the dataset it's just that I can't pass it back to the Dataview. Keep in mind that this is generic Model.

Thanks in advanced

Here is what I have in the Model Object:

Option Strict On
Imports DSA
Friend Class ModelData

    Private _ds As DataSet
    Private _DataInfo As New DataTable("tablename")

    Public Sub New()

        Try
            Dim oRequest As New DSARequest
            Dim oParam As New DSARequest.Parameter
            Dim oFactory As DSAAbstractFactory
            Dim oDataSet As DSADataSet

            oFactory = New DSASqlFactory

            With oRequest
                .Command = "dbo.spr_Accounts"
                .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
                'oParam.ParamName = 
                'oParam.ParamValue = 
                '.Parameters.Add(oParam)
                .Role = DSARequest.UserRole.Admin
                .Transactional = False
            End With

            oDataSet = oFactory.ExecuteDataSet(oRequest)
            _ds = oDataSet.ReturnedDataSet


        Catch ex As Exception
            Exit Sub
        End Try

    End Sub
    Public ReadOnly Property DataInfo() As DataTable
        Get
            Return _DataInfo
        End Get
    End Property
End Class
Public Class DataInformation
    Private _modelData As ModelData
    Private _infoData As New DataView
    Public Sub New()
        Try
            _modelData = New ModelData

            With _infoData
                .Table = _modelData.DataInfo
            End With

        Catch ex As Exception
            Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message)
            Exit Sub
        End Try
        
    End Sub

    Public ReadOnly Property infoData() As DataView
        Get
            Return _infoData
        End Get
    End Property
    'Public Function getchildData(ByVal childID As Integer) As ChildData
    '    Return New ChildData(childID, _modelData)
    'End Function
End Class
Public Class ChildData

End Class

Model View Controller - a design pattern

Model. A customer object.

View. UI to display info about the customer.

Controller. Handles changes to the customer (Model) invoked by the View.

My understanding anyway. Typically the View and Controller get wrapped together such that the important bit here is seperating the Model from the View/Controller - which is something you probably do all the time w/o realizing it had a name.

Some MS writing on the subject

and

One of the more seminal texts on patterns.
