Hi everyone,

How do i open the 3.0.5 CSLA Source code. I have a Visual Studio 2005 with .net 2.0 and 3.5 , but when i try to open it it wont open.. Do i missing something..

Is there any tutorial on how to use the CSLA basic foundation so that we can have a better understanding the CSLA framework..

 

Thanks :-)

What is the error you get trying to open the sln file?

I must say that I haven't tested 3.0.5 on a machine where .NET 3.5 is installed. 3.0.5 supports .NET 2.0 and 3.0, and I suppose it is possible (though unlikely) that .NET 3.5 would break it.

Regarding a tutorial, the documentation for the framework is the books:

http://www.lhotka.net/Article.aspx?area=4&id=a79647a6-2557-4af2-b67e-cc18762acb40

The books are also the way the framework is funded. To be blunt, I avoid charging for the framework by charging for the documentation. So for better or worse, having a comprehensive tutorial that undermines book sales would be counterproductive for all of us.

However, if you look back through the DNR TV archives (www.dnrtv.com) you'll find a number of shows where I walk through the basics of using CSLA .NET - that might qualify as a basic tutorial of sorts.

When i try to double click the SLN file :

The selected file is a solution file, but it was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened, when i try to click the OK button , The operation could not be completed. Unspecified Error. I am using Visual Studio 2005 with .net framework 2.0 and 3.5.

Are you sure you downloaded 3.0.5 and not 3.5.2?

 

I only ask, because I just downloaded both VB and C# versions onto a machine with VS 2005 and they open just fine.
