Pardon me if I'm late in the game or just kicking up old dust, but I found a few posts on the Asp.net forums that say Csla will form the object layer for some release of Enterprise Library 2.0. I currently use Csla 2.0 with Ent Lib 2.0 (January). I'm wondering if there is any truth to it as it might change how we approach our current projects.
For reference.

The official answer is here
http://www.lhotka.net/Article.aspx?area=4&id=b6b197e1-5aa0-44dc-8548-f450de1a2913Or to be more clear:
Enterprise Library is an example of guidance provided by Microsoft's Patterns & Practices group. It was adapted from some earlier code created by Avanade for .NET 1.x, but obviously has evolved substantially since then. It is the property of Microsoft.
CSLA .NET is part of my Expert VB/C# 2005 Business Objects books (and previous editions), and is something I've been evolving for over 10 years at this point. I hold the copyright to CSLA .NET, and make it available under a liberal license (
www.lhotka.net/cslanet/license.aspx).
I view the two things as entirely complimentary - they are two great tastes that go great together.
And to quell any possible rumors before they start: I have not been approached by Microsoft in terms of them acquiring CSLA .NET for inclusion into Enterprise Library or any other Microsoft guidance or products.
