I am trying to download the latest version of CSLA .NET to play with it.

Last time I worked with CSLA for .NET 2.0 (VS 2005). I remember there was a PDF file which explains how to build the framework and the Project Tracker Sample Application: Client, Service and Web Application.

When I checked the download page:

 

http://www.cslanet.com/Download.html

I don't see a link to this PDF. I checked inside the downloaded ZIP file, and I did not find this PDF.

Appreciate if someone can point me to the latest PDF which will help you to build both the Framework and the Project Tracker Sample Application parts.

Hi,

The simplest and easiest way to get the framework assemblies is to use NuGet to install/restore the packages. You should make sure to install the latest NuGet Package Manager (version 2.7) in VS 2013 as this has default config for "restore packages on build". Just search for CSLA in NuGet. 

I am not aware of any updated documentation right now on how to build the ProjectTracker Sample.

I never used NuGet, so I appreciate it if you could point me to some getting started guide. Is this some kind of plugin you can execute from inside VS?

Hi,

Google NuGet and you will find lots of information.

Here is a couple of links to start with:

I posted a bit about getting ProjectTracker working in VS2013 if that's any use to you:  http://forums.lhotka.net/forums/t/12200.aspx

However, I then realised after that Chapter 1 of the first of Rocky's Using CSLA 4 ebooks covers getting it all up and running in great detail with lots of explanation of what's needed.  I'd strongly recommend starting there.
