2. LITERATURE SURVEY A major element in building a system is the selection of compatible software since the software in the market is experiencing a geometric progression. Selected software should be acceptable to the firm and the user as well as it should be feasible for the system. The system is developed in C#.NET 2010 and MYSQL 5.5 for use on Windows environment. The software we have used for our project is Visual Studio 2010 for Designing and Coding and Reports. MYSQL 5.5 for Database

3. SYSTEM DESIGN 2-Tier architecture A two tier application or architecture is a client server application where the processing load can fall either on the server or on the client. When the processing load falls on the client then the server simply acts as a controller between the data and the client. Such a client is called as a fat client and imposes a lot of memory and bandwidth on the clients’ machine. Thus in this type of architecture the business logic and the presentation layer is located on the client machine and the data layer is on the server machine.
Fig 1. 2-Tier architecture Presentation tier: This is the topmost level of the application. The presentation tier displays information related to such services as browsing merchandise, purchasing, and shopping cart contents. It communicates with other tiers by outputting results to the browser/client tier and all other tiers in the network. Data tier: This tier consists of Database Servers. Here information is stored and retrieved. This tier keeps data neutral and independent from application servers or business logic, giving data its own tier also improves scalability
