This book is a translation of Lhotka?s industry-standard title, Visual Basic.NET Business Objects, into the language of C#. We are doing this because Lhotka?s ideas are extremely influential in all programmer circles of any language, but most naturally it will be C# developers over the next couple of years at least who will most likely be involved in the kinds of programming projects and architectures that Lhotka discusses. Therefore, while the VB.NET book proves its punch, the new C# version will find a more natural audience than the VB version.C# Business Objects will show C# developers the kinds of opportunities that .NET makes available. It will allow them to make clear, informed decisions about the right way to develop their enterprise C# projects, and show them how the trade-off between performance and flexibility can be made successfully. This book contains the author's Component-based, Scalable, Logical Architecture (CSLA .NET), an object-oriented framework that can act as the foundation for a diverse range of enterprise applications, and which readers are free to examine, use, and modify.Assumes knowledge of .NET, C#.This book specifically targets C# developers facing some of the toughest real-world architectural challenges out there today. Lhotka?s previous edition, using VB.NET rather than C#, was digestible by C# developers, but was not in their chosen language. Now we publish this book for the audience who really needs it the most.
