A year into using the CodeSmith CSLA templates and those templates are shaping up very nicely. The CSLA framework represents the Jenasys Design's underlying code base for software we produce for our clients.  The quality has increased, the volume of code we managed has decreased and overall stress levels have reduced. We present our favorite features, improvements over previous code and how we used CodeSmith Projects in live business applications.

Lessons learnt after reviewing unit test failures when upgrading from CSLAContrib to CodeSmith code. In this case we have migrated from CSLA 3.0x to 3.8.x and moved from private member backing to the CSLA PropertyInfo backing. Simple Business Rules unit tests failed, reinforcing the value of unit tests. An explanation of the importance of RegisterProperty configuration.
