I am seeing some old posts by someone named Nermin around CSLA and MVC with a set of broken links.

Is anyone doing active development with MVC and CSLA? If so, my first area to target is the CslaDataSource to aid with paging and sorting. Making this untied from page-behind behavior seems pretty simple in a custom/derived class scenario, but wondering if anyone has experience or thoughts on this.

Thank you,
-Steve

Hi,

Take a look at CslaContrib, http://cslacontrib.codeplex.com and the CslaContrib.MVC project with ProjectTrackerMVC as sample project.

This project was submitted by Ricky Supit and released on the 2. september.

Steve,
You don't need CslaDataSource to create paging and sorting in asp.net MVC. You just need to generate regular table and have javascript plugin like tablesorter to do client side sorting and paging.

HTH,
Ricky

that doesn't work in this situation

CslaDataSource is to support data binding; MVC does not do databinding.
