Now available in both VB and C# editions! CSLA .NET version 3.0 adds support for Microsoft .NET 3.0 features. This ~120 page ebook covers how to use these new capabilities: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Creating WPF forms using business objects Using the new controls in the Csla.Wpf namespace CslaDataProvider Validator Authorizer ObjectStatus IdentityConverter Maximizing XAML and minimizing C#/VB code Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Using the new WCF data portal channel to seamlessly upgrade from Remoting, Web services or Enterprise Services Building WCF services using business objects Applying WCF security to encrypt data on the wire Sending username/password credentials to a WCF service Including use of the new Csla.Security.PrincipalCache class Using the DataContract attribute instead of the Serializable attribute Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) Creating activities using business objects Invoking a workflow from a business object Using the WorkflowManager class in the Csla.Workflow namespace Version 3.0 is an additive update , meaning that you only need to use the .NET 3.0 features if you are using .NET 3.0. CSLA .NET 3.0 is useful for people using .NET 2.0 !! These features include: Enhancements to the validation subsystem Friendly names for properties Better null handling in the RegExMatch rule method New StringMinLength rule method Help for code generation through the DecoratedRuleArgs class Data binding issues Fixed numerous bugs in BusinessListBase to improve data binding behavior Throw exception when edit levels get out of sync, making debugging easier N-level undo changed to provide parity with Windows Forms data binding requirements AutoCloneOnUpdate Automatically clone objects when Save() is called, but only when data portal is local Enhancements to the authorization subsystem CanExecuteMethod() allows authorization for arbitrary methods CSLA .NET 3.0 includes numerous bug fixes and some feature enhancements that benefit everyone. If you are using version 2.0 or 2.1, you should consider upgrading to 3.0 to gain these benefits, even if you aren't using .NET 3.0. See the change logs for version 3.0 , version 3.0.1 and version 3.0.2 for a more detailed list of changes. Using CSLA .NET 3.0 is completely focused on how to use the new features in version 3.0. The book does not detail the internal changes to CSLA .NET itself, so all ~120 pages help you use the enhancements added since version 2.1. Get the book at store.lhotka.net . Download Read More...

The CSLA .NET Version 2.1 Handbook is available NOW at http://store.lhotka.net for both C# and VB. Additionally, version 2.1.3 of CSLA .NET is now available for download from this location . Version 2.1.3 includes some bug fixes and minor enhancements. The enhancements are primarily around the CslaDataSource web control, which now provides more integrated support for paging and sorting. Most importantly, version 2.1.3 is the specific version described in my CSLA .NET Version 2.1 Handbook . I am releasing this as a ~160 page ebook, available in editions for both C# and VB, for purchase directly from my web site. This new book is best thought of as a sequel to my my Expert C# 2005 Business Objects and Expert VB 2005 Business Objects books. It covers the changes made since CSLA .NET 2.0 was released: how the framework has changed, and how to use the new features and capabilities. Please note that this is not a replacement for those books: it expands on them. I hope you enjoy CSLA .NET 2.1.3, and the new book. Thank you, code well, have fun!

Version 2.1.2 of CSLA .NET is now available for download from this location . Version 2.1.2 includes some bug fixes and minor enhancements. The enhancements are primarily around the CslaDataSource web control, which now provides more integrated support for paging and sorting. Most importantly, version 2.1.2 is the specific version described in my CSLA .NET Version 2.1 Handbook . I am releasing this as a ~160 page ebook, available in editions for both C# and VB, for purchase directly from my web site. The VB CSLA .NET Version 2.1 Handbook is available NOW at http://store.lhotka.net . Look for the C# edition in the very near future (it is in the final review stage). This new book is best though of as a sequel to my my Expert C# 2005 Business Objects and Expert VB 2005 Business Objects books. It covers the changes made since CSLA .NET 2.0 was released: how the framework has changed, and how to use the new features and capabilities. Please note that this is not a replacement for those books: it expands on them. Releasing this as an ebook in PDF format is a risk on my part. I put just as much time and effort into writing this book as I have any other book I've written, but I want to provide a more cost-effective way for you to purchase this material than through normal publishing channels. It is my sincere hope that you will purchase this book if you read it (even after a few people have purchased it and they start sharing it for free). I'm not giving up on traditional publishing channels necessarily. I'll most likely use a traditional publishing approach when I reach a point that CSLA .NET and/or my thinking changes to such a degree that there'd be value for you, as a reader, in me rewriting my books in a major way. But when I'm writing about extra functionality that rests on the existing work, it seems like I'm providing better value to you by selling a lower-cost sequel than forcing you to repurchase much of the same material to get at the new parts. But all this hinges on people's honesty. On your honesty. I hope you enjoy CSLA .NET 2.1.2, and the new book. Thank you, code well, have fun! For more information go to www.lhotka.net . Read More...

I thought it would be a good idea to give a quick update on the progress/status of the CSLA .NET version 2.1 ebook. Version 2.1 includes some substantial new features and changes as compared to version 2.0, and I am working on an ebook (about 150 pages) that I'll be selling through my web site in the near future. This ebook covers those changes to the framework, both from the framework development perspective and from the perspective of someone who just wants to use the new or changed features. My original intent was for the ebook to be done in November. Obviously that hasn't happened, though I am very near completion of the book at this point - in the middle of December. There are many reasons for the delay, most notably some serious family health issues (which, unfortunately, are ongoing) and unexpected activities at work (I have a real job in addition to writing ebooks :) ). Those pushed things far enough into November that a number of other, planned, things impacted the schedule as well. I really didn't expect this project to be this big - I was thinking 75 pages, but it is more like 150. And self-publishing turns out to be more work than I'd thought. Fortunately, a colleague at Magenic is helping to do the technical review and my very talented wife is doing all the non-technical editing. Another Magenic colleague is kindly setting up the online store. And I found out from my tax guy that I need to get a sales tax ID from Minnesota because I have to actually collect sales tax on the ebook - much to my surprise. Regardless, what this means is that I now expect the ebook to be available for purchase within the first two weeks of 2007. I'm wrapping up the VB version this week, doing technical revisions and final editing and creating the C# version (swapping in different code bits) over the next couple weeks. This should mean the project is done by the end of the year so I can put it online very early in 2007. For more information go to www.lhotka.net . Read More...

Yesterday I recorded two more DNR TV shows on CSLA .NET with Carl Franklin, so watch for those to go online in the next few weeks. Carl does a nice job of editing the recordings and cleaning up the audio, so it takes some time between recording and "airing", but it is well worth it! For more information go to www.lhotka.net .

Some exciting news! Dunn Training is building a formal training class around CLSA .NET, with plans for the class to be ready in September. I often get requests for CSLA .NET training, and now there'll be a great answer. Of course Magenic remains the premier source for consulting and mentoring around CSLA .NET. Training is important, but you can't underestimate the value of longer term mentoring! Given the combination of my books, a formal CSLA .NET class and longer term mentoring and consulting from Magenic, a full array of CSLA .NET resources is coming into being. And while I'm plugging Dunn Training, I should mention that they have an excellent BizTalk Server 2006 class - just tell them that Rocky sent you :) For more information go to www.lhotka.net .
