Has anyone tried implementing Rockford Lhotka's CSLA
framework from his book Expert One on One Visual
Basic .Net Business Objects?
The reason I pose this question here is 2-fold.
1. He basically does away with most of ADO.net, other
than the DataReader to read a row in order to stuff the
values into Properties of objects, which are then bound
to UI controls. To update the database, the values from
the Properties are used to generate a SQL update
statement. It certainly seems an odd way of doing
things - albeit in an OOP way.
2. Having spent 3 weeks trying to work through the book
and make it work, I can't seem to be getting anywhere.
His downloaded source code refuses to work - even after
some of the more obvious problems are fixed (like
references to a Strongname Key file stored on his own h:\
drive in some of the Assembly Info files). The sample
Project Tracker keeps quiting with a System error.
I am very intrigued with his framework, and I think Mr
Lhotka is one of the best technical writers around. I
find myself stuck in the mud and would like to know if
anyone out there has been able to make this thing work.
Thanks
