 CSLA .NET version 3.5 for .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 is now available for download from www.lhotka.net/cslanet/download.aspx. This version of CSLA .NET includes support for LINQ and provides substantial code reduction (often around 40%) when coding your business objects. Check out the official launch announcement on DotNetRocks! If you are using .NET 2.0 or 3.0 with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 then you'll want to use CSLA .NET version 3.0.4. Version 3.0.4 includes some data binding bug fixes over version 3.0.3, and it works with .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0. It is also available from the download page. As always, questions and comments are welcome on the forum at http://forums.lhotka.net. |

Downloading DotNetRocks now to hear your live comments.
Congratulations.

I did a quick test in my large web app and only had to change a few things.
1. Change AddDependantProperty to AddDependentProperty. The original code is mis-spelled and Rocky has deprecated it.
2. There are many places where we use Reflection.xyz. Most of them are Reflection.PropertyInfo.
When we added CSLA 3.5 to the solution, there was a conflict in the namespaces for CSLA.Reflection and System.Reflection. We just removed the "Reflection." from the code and used PropertyInfo and added Imports System.Reflection at the top of the page.
Ditto for Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic - add Imports and strip off the extra qualifier.

PS - this upgrade is amazingly simple compared to the 1.x to 2.x upgrade which was tremendously difficult due to all the Rule changes. That required 4 developers for a month to go over all the code - there were so many breaking changes. Plus the sorting and filtering were different and we used them in many web pages.
Rocky,
You Rock! Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into CSLA. It makes our jobs as developers Ssssooooo much easier.

Congratulations!!
How is that new book coming along? Is there a new estimated date of arrival?
Thanks!
According to the Apress website it looks like the C# version is scheduled for September. I did not see the VB version listed.

Yes, the plan is to have the C# book available in September,
with VB available a couple months after that point.
