MSDN Webcast: BenkoTIPS Live and On Demand: A Conversation About CSLA .NET with Rocky Lhotka (Level 100)  

Join us for this webcast as we talk to Rockford Lhotka, creator of the widely used CSLA .NET framework. We discuss the framework's support for Microsoft Silverlight development and some of the challenges involved in maintaining a framework that supports Windows Forms, Web forms, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Silverlight, and several other interface technologies all at the same time. Rocky walks us through the code for a simple application that reuses the same business logic for a Silverlight and WPF interface, both running in a scalable n-tier deployment model. BenkoTips Live and On Demand brings events to you. This webcast series is dedicated to helping developers explore the possible. Join us each week as we take a look at what is new for developers, and see how to take advantage of the tools that developers use. From Silverlight to Windows SharePoint Services, from the Microsoft .NET Framework to Microsoft Visual Studio, from Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 to membership, we explore it all.
