We are currently working on a project design in ASP.NET and have spent a lot of time evaluating CSLA's framework (which seems very powerful). I'm wondering whether the use of the framework would allow for common coding for the business objects between a Web app and a Windows Mobile/CF application or if anyone has experience here?
Essentially I'd like to be able to leverage complex business code only once for development, testing, upgrades, etc. So for example, if I have a sales ordering system that has a complex pricing object can I properly design this in CSLA to be used on both Web and Win Mobile where the Win Mobile app will be offline using SQL Mobile?
Thanks
I developed a proof of delivery application for Windows mobile using CSLA although it was based on 1.53. The business objects were very similar to their server counterparts but did have to differ slightly mainly around data access as version of SQL compact I was using only allowed one open connection. Oh and the n-level undo functionality wasn't available as all that serialisation stuff wasn't in the .Net compact either.
It was pretty close though. Still worth doing even if the code does have to differ.
May be better now with later version on .Net compact and windows mobile.
I have a large web app using ASP.Net. I recently added a Mobile application to my solution. I used the exact same CSLA Business Objects for it that I use in my ASP.Net app. I treated it the same way as a web app and only had to learn how to code mobile forms and controls. It worked quite nicely.
