CSLA .NET 2.0 Public Beta Available

A public beta of CSLA .NET 2.0 is now available at www.lhotka.net/cslanet/csla20.aspx

The Expert C# 2005 Business Objects and Expert VB 2005 Business Objects books are still due out around the end of March. That is also the point at which the framework with "RTM".

The public beta should be reasonable stable. I am nearly done with technical reviews of the chapters, and so am basically done with the framework updates. The ProjectTracker sample application is still under review at this point.

Thank ye, O' Great Sage!

Good look with the book. I can't wait for it to come out. The first edition was one of the most enjoyable technical books I have read in recent years.

Any news on the release date for those "CSLA.NET is Love" T-Shirts? Seriously. I'd buy some.

(FYI for the uninitiated: "COM is Love" was the secret mantra of the Mysterious Cult of COM Developers.)

I've already downloaded the beta version and I'm creating business objects to be familiarized on CSLA .Net 2.0. Just a quick question in CSLA .NET 1.1 if a property has been changed we called the MarkDirty() but in your example you've used the PropertyChanged(). Can I assumed that this is a replacement for calling MarkDirty()? Because you put in your remarks that PropertyChanged() calls MarkDirty()

PropertyHasChanged() replaces MarkDirty(), yes. It actually does a lot more than MarkDirty() used to do as well.

Rocky!

Why the name change from BusinessCollectionBase to BusinessListBase? The former is the standard according to VS 2005 F1 help. And I think it's safe to assume you're following standards, hence CSLA->Csla.

Just a silly nit pick. I'm in the process of converting our huge CSLA based code base to 2.0

Thanks

The reason for the name change is that BusinessListBase inherits from BindingList(Of T) - so I carried the word "List" through from the Microsoft base class. This new base is fundamentally different from the previous one, and the name change helps convey that difference.
