The thick-client test harness I mentioned in the previous post was actually a "copy / paste" of the main Assets Form from the existing WinForms app into the new solution. The purpose of this was to prove the BL and DA layers actually provide the services that the final application(s) will need.
One thing that came out of this test was the fact that the old app has all the BL within the forms, so this logic had to be stripped out of the UI and then the (somewhat thinner) form coupled up to the BL layer. As I said this is just a test harness so this UI is not production code whereas the BL and DAL are.
I'm happy to report that the test form behaves as it should. However, I now need to do the same work with the exiting Asset Maintenance form so that I can test the BL and DA layers support creating new and updating existing Asset entities.
