No, they should pass. But I'm full-time with a client most of this week and don't have time to check it (nor do I have a 2.1.4 dev environment anymore - I'm well into 3.0...).
Obviously there's either a bug in the test or in CSLA, and that's bad.
I don't know for sure what I'm going to do for .NET 3.0/3.5.
Certainly I'm working on CSLA .NET 3.0 now, with an eye toward having it available this summer.
But .NET 3.5 and perhaps more importantly Visual Studio codename "Orcas" is due out this fall, and that includes real designer support for .NET 3.0.
So it is quite realistic to consider writing a "real" book (probably through Apress) - something like "Expert C#/VB ___ Business Objects", where "____" is whatever Microsoft officially calls the new Visual Studio (2007? 2008? something else?).
On the other hand, the CSLA .NET Version 2.1 Handbook has been reasonably successful in terms of selling enough to make it worth my time and effort. So writing a 3.0 Handbook is also a possibility.
I am in discussions with Apress about the one option, and am considering the other. But it will be some time before I make a final decision one way or the other.
