I have put CSLA .NET 3.8.0 Beta 2 online for download.

This completes the work for version 3.8.0, and (barring anyone finding a show-stopping issue) I plan to release 3.8 in just a couple weeks.

For Windows Forms and Web Forms users there are not any major new features, but some of the bug fixes may be valuable. Upgrading from 3.7 to 3.8 should be painless for these UI types (as well as XML services and workflow interfaces).

If you use WPF or Silverlight, you will almost certainly want to take a look at the features in 3.8. The downside is that there are several breaking changes in the XAML controls, but the upside is that the new XAML control implementations are far superior to previous versions. Controls impacted include:

See this blog post for more MVVM information.

Other important or interesting features include:

There are also numerous bug fixes, including (hopefully) a solution to the memory leak issue with BusyAnimation. See the change logs for more details about bug fixes.

Rocky,

Great release - I wish I had it 6 months ago but I will start integrating the ViewModel all over.

Thanks
