General Csla FAQs
- I'm trying to run my Csla web application on a hosted web server, but I'm getting SecurityExceptions stating that the assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.
Answer: Csla requires full trust to run because of its extensive use of reflection. You'll need to grant Csla full trust to run. Please see this thread for more details.

Csla 2 FAQs
- I'm getting a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Type is not resolved for member 'MyProject.MyLibrary.MyCustomPrincipal, MyProject.MyLibrary' in my Asp.Net application.
Answer: You are likely running the application through Cassini and not IIS. Due to limitations in Cassini, you cannot run Csla applications through it unless you install your assembly into the GAC. For more information please see the Install document and Rocky's explaination.
- My DataGridView is removing the wrong item from my BusinessListBase subclass, but it only seems to do so if the item removed IsNew.
This is because the grid uses Equals, which is overriden by BusinessBase. Equals in turn uses the value returned from GetIdValue to deterimine if one instance is 'equal' to another. Your object is likely always using an integer to identify the object, and new objects always get 0 for their id. You'll need to assign a unique temporary id to new objects. This can be done by creating a static field in your class and setting it zero. Each new instance which is created should decrement the value and assign it to the id property. See this article for more information.
