Expert's Voice in .NET Series

Expert VB 2005 Business Objects

Expert C# 2005 Business Objects

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.

Published 24 December 2008

Do you want to create .NET applications that provide high performance and scalability? Do you want to employ object-oriented programming techniques in a distributed environment? Do you want to maximize the reuse and maintainability of your code? Then this book is for you.

In Rockford Lhotka's Expert C# 2008 Business Objects, you'll learn how to use advanced .NET Framework capabilities alongside object-oriented design and programming to create scalable, maintainable object-oriented applications. Better still, this book includes Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture (CSLA) .NET 3.6, a widely-used framework on which you can base your application development. By using the concepts and framework in the book, you can focus more on your business issues and less on technology.

Using VS 2008 and C# 3.0, Rockford Lhotka shows you how CSLA .NET 3.6 allows great flexibility in object persistence, so business objects can use virtually any data sources available. The CSLA framework supports 1-, 2- and n-tier models through the concept of mobile objects. This provides the flexibility to optimize performance, scalability, security, and fault tolerance with no changes to code in the UI or business objects.

Business objects based on CSLA.NET 3.6 automatically gain many advanced features that simplify the creation of Windows forms, web forms, WPF, WCF, WF, and web services interfaces, and LINQ.
