A framework for developing RDP applications for IPTV

In this thesis a framework for RDP applications for IPTV is described. The goal is to develop applications easily by using the framework. Microsoft IPTV Edition Content Development Kid is used as a simulator of Microsoft IPTV, SQL Server 2000 as Database Management System and Internet Information Server as the web server. A total of eleven example applications have been developed with the framework to show how this framework can be used to develop applications easily. Firstly methods are distinguished; data types and classes of example web applications are designed. Then the architecture of the framework is determined. The ?three tier architecture ? is used while developing this framework. In this design there is a Presentation Layer that includes user interface part and communicates with Business Layer only. The second layer is Business Layer which communicates both Presentation Layer and Data Layer and holds system logic. The third layer is Data Layer that communicates with Business Layer and sends data to the DLL to get the queries. The conclusion of the thesis is that using a layered architecture increases the reusability of the methods and it is easier to develop similar web services by using this framework.
