Good Day,

1. What is the purpose of the classes found in the C5 folder of CSLA? Would I be using them? Should I be concerned about all the warnings I'm getting?

2. Using CSLA 3.0.5 for Windows Forms development, I've created abstract base subclasses of the 6 major CSLA base classes, i.e. BusinessBase, BusinessListBase, etc. , as XYZBusinessBase, etc. I build my business classes on these XYZ base classes. Should I continue with this principle in CSLA 3.6.0, or is there better/alternative suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

1. C5 is an external library that is used for indexing (and Linq support) in CSLA 3.5 to 3.8. It will be removed from CSLA 4 and I would not be concerned with warnings from C5. And you would normally not need to use this library in your code.

2. I recommend that you create your own intermediate classes as a best practice. This allows you to add common custom behaviour to your BOs.
