I used csla extensively on a project recently and quite frankly hated it. I'm not saying its not powerful, it is, but the learning curve is steep and frankly provided no tangle benefits other than constraining your code to adhere to the framework (which can be useful in certain situations). Overall I felt it increased the complexity of the code, and projects assembly and versioning dependencies.
Others love it and want to use it for everything. just my 2c. - Steve On 2 June 2011 13:03, DotNet Dude <adotnetd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Really depends on the application.. if you are going for DDD then you > can use both EF and CSLA.
