If Rocky wrote it...it's viable and useful.
Rocky Lhotka is one of the most respected .Net theorists.

For those unfamiliar with CSLA, here's the link :

If what you need to do is manage/implement business logic, you'll find it an invaluable aid.
As with anything, whether it's good for you will depend on how much
effort you're willing to invest in a different way of doing things but,
don't worry about its foundations. CSLA has a good foundation.

There is an interview with Rocky on DotNetRocks. I'd listen to that. Coming
from his own mouth, you'll get a better understanding.

If I had custom business objects, and needed to bind them (or collections of
them) in a winforms application, then I would def use his framework.

(Aka, he takes care of alot of IEditableObject stuff for you).

The other (often not looked at) piece is something he calls the DataPortal.
I'd look at it, if you had any remoting or wcf intentions.

But his framework is a "all in" thing.

Get his book, and supplement (the supplement is only available at his
website).

But as far as his skills and what he wrote, its top notch stuff.

Creating framework for singleton pattern?

by: Sharon | last post by:

I wish to build a framework for our developers that will include a singleton pattern. But it can not be a base class because it has a private constructor and therefore can be inherit. I thought maybe a Template can be use for that, but C# does not support Templates (will be C# generics in mid 2005). Does anyone have a solution on how the singleton pattern can be written, in C#, as a framework/ infrastructure class, so users can use this...

Understanding CSLA...

by: VMI | last post by:

I'm trying to understand the concept of CSLA (and using it with n-tier), but I'm having trouble with it (even after browsing Lhotka's book). Let's say I have a webform (presentation) that will insert a product into the products table. My webform instantiates my Products class (business layer), and calls addProduct(a,b,c,d, ...). Products.addProduct creates and configures the SQLCommand to run the SP (data layer) that inserts to Products....

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++
