Hello everyone

I'm trying the ProjectTracker, and I'm not understand the use of ProjectInfo.Server.cs is only a partial class.

What is the purpose of this class.

Thanks.

I had started to create a Silverlight client for ProjectTracker, which requires separating out server-only code from code that is shared between the client and server. That's the purpose behind that file.

Obviously I didn't continue working on that project - mostly because it would have complicated the ProjectTracker code for readers of Expert 2008 Business Objects, where this separation isn't necessary.

I'll almost certainly take that step in the next few months though, because at some point in here I imagine I'll write Expert 2010 Business Objects, or at least an ebook, that covers CSLA .NET 4.0 - and I'll want to address Windows, Web, Silverlight and services together in such a book.

Please do! Also, could you change the timeframe from 'in the next few months' to 'in the next few weeks / days'? Wink [;)]

I didn’t create the SL ProjectTracker because it would have interfered with the Expert 2008 Business Objects book effort.

 

However, there are a lot of CSLA .NET for Silverlight examples in the Samples download, and a whole set of very focused samples available as part of the CSLA .NET for Silverlight video series.

 

Arguably at this point there are better samples for Silverlight than for Windows. Certainly there are more narrowly focused samples to show specific features and capabilities.

 

And there are also two broader SL samples: Rolodex and InventoryDemo.
