I have put a preview of CSLA Light and CSLA .NET 3.6 up to make it easy for people to look at. You can download it here.

When I say preview, I really mean it!! This is rough stuff, with few comments and subject to radical change (though I hope not). Read the two change logs to see what's been done to CSLA .NET and what is there (and not there) in CSLA Light.

In short, what we have working is a subset of the data portal (BusinessBase/BusinessListBase/CriteriaBase), object cloning and n-level undo.

Maybe a little data binding, maybe not (it is there, but totally untested).

No validation. No authorization (we need to invent authentication first).

To use CSLA .NET 3.6 you need VS 2008 w/ .NET 3.5 SP1 (at least that's our test environment).

To use CSLA Light you need VS 2008 w/ Silverlight Beta 2 and the VS tools for Silverlight.

cslalighttest includes a custom unit testing engine - see the change log for why - but it is kind of neat.

For "documentation" see my blog posts over the past couple months, but don't expect anything beyond my ramblings about design decisions.
