Hi,

I would like to know what is required to create and run a .NET client/
server application?

I am assuming the following for running a .NET application :

1. Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0
2. Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Service Pack 3 recommended)/
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (Service Pack 3 recommended)/ Microsoft
Windows XP Professional/ and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family.
3. Internet Information Server

We need to separate the business logic from the presentation layer.
Should we use a Biztalk server for that?

For creating a .NET application (Vb.net application), what is
required? Is it the below?

1.Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
2. Visual Studio .NET 2005

And how does one separate the business logic from the presentation
layer - using framework libraries?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ann

If you move your code to libraries, you will have accomplished the
separation without invoking BizTalk. You will then, at least generally, put
a facade layer to query the objects from the UI.

While it is not the only, or necessarily the best, implementation,
dofactory.com has a Framework you can download ($99 for the entire package)
that has a reference application with multiple tiers and proper use of
design patterns. It is worth a look to see how someone separates business
logic from UI. I personally would consider a slightly different data layer,
but it is something you can work with.
