We implemented a rather large system using CSLA 1.5 and ActiveObjects and are about to begin a new system and are planning to base it on CSLA 2.0. In the last project ActiveObject's Pub/Sub model gave good communication between UI components and BO's, since databinding wasn't quite there IMO in .NET 1.1. That same Pub/Sub model enabled good communication between parents and children classes. For example, a grandchild object could be marked dirty and it would magically bubble up and notify controls "listening" to the root's IsDirty property to change in the UI.
My question is, are people finding the functionality of ActiveObjects still beneficial with .NET/CSLA 2.0? Or does the functionality described above work ok without ActiveObjects 2.0?
