Hello, We are about to start a big project replacing legacy application
with an application that will be developed on .NET framework. Some people
on our team have experience with application frameworks in Java and
FoxPro, and they want to use some equivalent frameworks in .NET like
Spring, CSLA.NET, Strata Frame, etc
I've never used any app frameworks, so My question to you is have you
every used any of these or other frameworks, what was your experience
like?
I have used good ones with good results and bad ones with a lot of pain.
>Can you recommand a good framework?
Not right off hand, but if your developers like Spring, try nSpring. I am
personally not thrilled about CSLA.NET, but have not tried it at all for a
few years. I know plenty of people who are happy with it. I have never heard
of Strata Frame.
Do application frameworks really make your life easier and cut down the
development time, or do they just introduce more complexity and issues
dealing with someone else's code and bugs?
In general, moving the core boilerplate onto someone else's plate saves you
time. The same can be said for just about any ORM product, which I would not
call a framework. If you have devs familiar with the Framework, it makes it
that much sweeter. If not, you have to consider training time and
willingness of your devs to train.
