Web Development .NET Best Practices

Question

Are there other example projects like the Northwind Starters kit around that show you 'best practices' (layers, unit tests, mocking data, o/r mapping tools, ...) in architecture of ASP.NET development?

Or links to good and clear resources or documentation? (MSDN is a good reference but no good as tutorial)

• are there example projects around addressing Visual Studio2008 and/or the AdventureWorks database?

thx, Lieven Cardoen

Answer 1

Check out this Sample Application: DinnerNow.Net

DinnerNow is a fictitious marketplace where customers can order food from local restaurants for delivery to their home or office. This sample is designed to demonstrate how you can develop a connected application using several new Microsoft technologies.

The demo utilizes several technologies including: IIS7, ASP.NET Ajax Extensions, LINQ, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows PowerShell, and the .NET Compact Framework.
