Hi all,

At my company we have been using LLBLGen for about six months. So far, mostly on our smaller projects. We are now planning on using it for all of our future web applications. The plan is to develop a centralised code library comprising of self contained 'modules' that can be plugged-in with each other to form a full web site/application.

The problem is, I really don't know how best to approach this using LLBLGen. Should each module (which could be something like a news or downloads module) have it's own LLBLGen project? Or is there some better way of going about this?

Does anyone else have any experience of doing this type of development? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

(I'll reply briefly and then move it to architecture)

It's targeting the same database as well? Or are you using multiple databases per module? So if you have one big database / catalog / schema with all the tables, you could simply use 1 central generated code dll, which is referenced by a module. If you're using separated catalogs/schemas per module, it's perhaps better to use one llblgen pro project per module.
