Hi Ben, Thanks for this! I will definitely go through this stuff and let you know my ideas/questions.

It's very similar to the PHP Config service. It still needs namespaces added. I think that the config contract, is a good place to start thinking about some FE designs. It should have the ability to (Add/Edit/ListServices, Get/Set ClientToBs Service, Get/Set BsToOps, Get/Set DB Config, etc). Also, you may want to become familiar with the original MSFT Config App. You'll have to download and install it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb499684.aspx. Disregard all of the load balancing config, that is out-of-scope for this ticket. -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Avantika Agrawal [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 1:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Improving the usability of Stocktrader I think two implementations would be a good idea. I've installed the dotnet, java and php implementations and completed the interoperability walk-through. I am currently working on how to modify the design of the tables in the db. I looked at the UI ticket, I will try and brainstorm some ideas for the FE. I'd be interested in hearing everyone's ideas. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Dewey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 9:45 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Improving the usability of Stocktrader +1 -> So both clients will have a config tab that's beefed up. -----Original Message----- From: Drew Baird (Volt) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Improving the usability of Stocktrader +1 -> We will have one in php and one in .net -----Original Message----- From: Selvaratnam Uthaiyashankar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Improving the usability of Stocktrader On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 8:23 PM, Ben Dewey <[email protected]> wrote: > Avantika, > > Glad to hear your enthusiasm.

(e:g .net , php) If it is one, I prefer php (no, no, I am not biased :D ) since we can use same in linux as well. Personally I feel we should integrate this with our stocktrader frontend, so that we will have one in php and one in .net WDYT?
