Click here for the latest information on CSLA .NET.

CSLA .NET 1.0 is the architecture and framework described in my Expert Visual Basic .NET Business Objects and Expert C# Business Objects books from Apress (http://www.apress.com/).

These books discuss my Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture (CSLA) for .NET. This is a distributed object-oriented architecture, meaning that it uses object-oriented design and programming concepts to define a logical n-layer architecture. An application built following this architecture can be easily configured to run in various physical n-tier configurations.

The books also walk through the creation of a framework based on this architecture. This framework is intended to illustrate how you can create a framework that meets your particular needs and also simplifies the development of business applications in a complex distributed environment. It may be useful as-is, or as a basis for creating a framework suited to your particular requirements.
