CSLA 1.53 for .Net 2

xAvailx posted on Thursday, October 26, 2006

We are using the following CSLA version. C# CSLA 1.50 for .Net 2

I noticed the standard .Net 1.1 version is up to 1.53, however the CSLA for .Net is at 1.51.

Question:

Is there a plan to release 1.5x officially for .Net 2? If not, Rocky (or someone that may know), is it as simple as running the VS upgrade wizard to run 1.53 in .Net 2? Or are other changes required to run CSLA 1.5x with .Net 2?

The reason I ask is because we noticed some strange behavior that seems to match the bug fixes according to the change log in 1.53 with serialization.

Thx

To my knowledge there is no plan to "release 1.5x for .Net 2."

Rocky has "moved on". And already released 2.0 and 2.1 for .Net 2.

I think 2.1 is a great place to start and plan on moving into Production with that code this week.

As mentioned, we are using CSLA version. C# CSLA 1.50 for .Net 2 (check in downloads).

It is ok if there is no "oficial" release for 1.5x for .Net 2. My question to Rocky or someone who may know is, if that is the case, then what are the steps to convert 1.53 to .Net 2. Is it as simple as running the VS upgrade wizard to run 1.53 in .Net 2? Or are other changes required to run CSLA 1.5x with .Net 2?

Using 2.1 is not an option for us at the moment.

Thx

I would think it should be as simple as running the conversion wizard. To my knowledge, there's no framework classes used by Csla that have been modified in a breaking way from 1.1 to 2.0.

I think there are unit tests also with 1.53, so convert and run the tests. They don't cover everything though, so be careful.

Make a full backup first of your non-converted CSLA 1.53 first just in case. :)

I did a convertion from 1.5x to 2x about 10 months ago and it went just fine. Disclaimer though, I have since moved to csla 2x.

I converted my 1.x project for .Net 2.0 ( I need to run side by side for a while.)

I used the SortableCollectionBase that was posted in the old foruma nd it had 1 line of code that would not comple in .Net 2.0. It was for BinarySearches. Since I nver called that I just commented it out. So the project should convert without error if you did not customize it.
