Has anyone used the CSLA.Net framework on the .Net Compact Framework?

Just wondering how well it performs on devices which are limited in terms of memory and bandwidth. I'm about to do some work in this area so will prototype and do some testing but would be interested to hear anyone's experiences, issues you came across, etc.

Thanks.

Search the forum, but I think Csla won't run on that. Rocky has expressed interest in make a "Csla Lite" that could run in Silverlight though. I'm not 100% sure I remember correctly though..

Thanks. Why do I always forget the search facility?

It looks like you can if you cut out the Dataportal, serialzation and n-level undo.

Without those features, wouldn't your business class just be a dataset again?

No, it means you don't have undo, and you can't use a remote application server, but those aren't the only benefits to Csla.

You still have validation and authorization support, proper business object design, rule checking, etc.
