| Oct 12, 2012 at 10:21 | comment | added | user8 | @Starx thanks for updating your question: I voted to re-open it. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 10:20 | comment | added | user8 | @YannisRizos You can pedantically insist that development methodologies means something very specific and anyone who uses it in a colloquial sense is wrong, but the sense in which it was used here—to mean "high level program design"—is still on-topic. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 10:15 | comment | added | Starx | @YannisRizos, Great!!! Then reopen the question and lets read some answers now. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 10:11 | comment | added | yannis Mod | @Starx Now we are getting somewhere! You told us why the two solutions don't work for you, and you've further defined the problem. You are not simply looking for the incredibly vague "best" and by giving us detailed explanations of why the two methods don't work for you, you've stopped people from proposing other methods that have the same problems. | |

@Mark, Its good to listen to a second opinion. I too believed that my question was asking for conceptual techniques (which you said as high-level design advice), please review the question and tell me If I need to others as well.

| Oct 12, 2012 at 10:05 | comment | added | Starx | @YannisRizos, I dont know why what I have tried is important to the question I am asking. But to acknowledge Mark's Support I have added them. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 10:01 | comment | added | yannis Mod | Programmers is a site for professional software developers, I don't think following the formal definition of development methodology is unreasonable. If the OP actually addresses "what have you tried", that would mean that he tried to apply both solutions, and didn't get the expected results. Then, certainly, we'd have an actual and practical problem on our hands, and not just a quest for the best/most proper solution to a (currently) non existing problem... | |
