Hi,

just saw this cool tool to quickly generate forms for Silverlight  / WPF.
http://karlshifflett.wordpress.com/xaml-power-toys/

Feature Set

• Create WPF or Silverlight DataGrid For Selected Class - quickly create a DataGrid complete with bindings that are easily associated with properties on the source class
• Create WPF ListView For Selected Class - quickly create a ListView complete with bindings that are easily associated with properties on the source class
• Create Business Form For Selected Class - quickly create a form complete with bindings that are easily associated with properties on the source class
• Create Business Form - quickly create a form complete with bindings if desired 
• Show Fields List For Selected Class - display a list of class fields similar to Microsoft Access.  Allows dragging of fields to create controls
• Group Into - allows selecting one or more controls and group them inside a new parent control.  Many options provided
• Change Grid To Flow Layout - allows selecting of one of more control and will remove all MinWidth, MinHeight, Margin properties and will set all row and column definitions to Auto.
• Edit Grid Column and Rows - allows selecting a grid and then add or remove rows and columns

I haven't tried it out with CSLA.NET yet but it would be very cool if it could be extend to not only work with the business object properties but also automatically hook up with authorization, IsDirty, IsValid etc.

It could make getting a CSLA.NET based solution up and running very easy

Have a great weekend,
