Can i say that MVP = 3 Tier Archi?

Question

From last few days i have been searching the optimal architecture for my new web application, which would be devloped in ASP.Net using C#. Until now, i only find and study follo

Answer 1

My take on things:

3-tier is not the same as MVP/MVC.

Many folks interpret the "Model" as a very broad concept that could contain lots of behaviour (including domain logic). I don't. The model is what the view needs to render itself. Sometimes it may have behaviour but, once again, only for behaviour related to view rendering.

With MVP you have a 1-1 mapping between the View and the Presenter. Although conceptually you could have more in reality it probably won't turn out that way. The presenter is only concerned with mediating between other layers and the view.

With MVC there is in all probablity more than 1 view that the controller deals with since it is concerned with flow.

So MVC/MVP can be used together and are front-end related and are part of the n-tier architecture.

Hope that makes sense.
