CSLA 3.0 with .NET 2.0

bassplayer posted on Friday, August 03, 2007

Is there an HOWTO on compiling the CSLA 3.0 with .NET 2.0? When I load the project a lot of the references are missing (e.g. System.Runtime.Serialization, System.ServiceModel, and of course, the .NET 3.0 specifics - PresentationCore, PresentationFramework, etc..)

From Rocky's 3.0 page (http://www.lhotka.net/weblog/CSLANET30AvailableForDownload.aspx):

Again, CSLA .NET 3.0 can be used without Microsoft .NET 3.0. If you want to build CSLA .NET 3.0 without installing the Microsoft .NET 3.0 runtime, you must define the NET20 symbol in project properties.

Follow these links and you should be in good shape. If you don't have .NET 3.0 installed, you will still see warnings concerning the 3.0 assemblies, but CSLA will still compile.

Shameless plug: This is also discussed at the beginning of the Using CSLA .NET 3.0 ebook.
