Bad Links at Lhotka.net?

Q Johnson posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009

On the downloads page for version 1, the last two VB links (for versions 1.52 and 1.53) are now linking to some tech talks Rocky did (Twin Cities Code Camp and Tech Ed), rather than the downloads for those versions.  Since 1.52 had some pretty important bug fixes, it would be great if at least THAT link could be restored to point to the download for that version. 

It appears that the 1.53 link for the C# side of the page also has been hijacked, but for VS Live 2008.

Fortunately, the 1.53 downloads for both the VB and C# versions seem to be available on the CSLA.NET for Windows download page (though earlier version are not, of course).

I just fielded a request from yet another individual (trying to use the old forum) who will be maintaining a CSLA 1.x app and I wanted to refer him to those great links that discuss each version's changes so he could always figure out why his version may be different from what's in the book.  But until the links mentioned above are fixed, we're just out of luck.

Thanks for giving that some attention.

I've reordered the content, but missed that page. I've now updated that page to indicate valid locations to find information.

Unfortunately it may be that I eliminated some pages I thought were not useful during my reorg. I don't have a way to recover that information.

All the old 1.x code is available in svn, and it should be possible to retrieve specific versions from the repository based on date. Unfortunately all that content was imported from cvs, which didn't support tagging like svn, and so there are no version-specific tags to make grabbing specific versions as easy as it is now...

In any case, here's the link to the CSLA .NET 1.x page, from which all the old links I have should now be available.
