Expert C# 2008 Business Objects
Dear Reader,
This book is about application architecture, design, and development using
object-oriented concepts in .NET. Specifically, I’ll show how to build business-
focused objects called business objects and how to use them to build applica-
tions with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Web Forms, Windows
Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Forms, Windows Workflow
Foundation (WF), and other types of application. While this book is about the
creation of the CSLA .NET development framework, that framework is the codi-
fication of an underlying architecture, which helps provide order to the chaos
and enables productive application of the architectural concepts.
You may agree or disagree with my views, and that is fine. In the end, having
an architecture that withstands the tests of time and technological change is
the key. At a minimum, the concepts, ideas, and techniques in this book will
help inform your understanding of architecture and will enable you to put all
the new and changing technologies into perspective.
The CSLA .NET framework itself is one of the most widely used development
frameworks on the .NET platform. In reading this book, you will see the design
decisions that enable the framework to support the many technologies listed
previously—all based on the same set of business objects. You’ll also learn how
the framework abstracts the concept of data access, enabling an application to
use nearly any data access technology available on the .NET platform.
Over the past eight years, CSLA .NET has evolved, and it continues to evolve
to support new capabilities of the .NET platform. The underlying architecture
of using object-oriented design in a distributed computing environment has
remained consistent all this time, and it continues to be critical looking forward
to Silverlight, Windows Azure, and beyond.
I hope you enjoy this book and find it challenging and educational. Code
well, have fun!
