- Configuration system: Provides a clean separation between development and operations responsibilities by disconnecting component wiring from application parameterization; Built-in validators detect configuration errors at start-up time and they perform structural and logical checks as well as checks on assemblies; A system manages configuration by assembling configuration fragments.
- Extended remoting: Allows a component to be published using any given technology such as .NET Remoting, ASP.NET Web services, or WCF (Indigo); Publication technologies can be added by plug-in; Per-channel publication support has been added to the standard .NET Remoting; Alias mechanisms to avoid hardcoded location URLs in component definitions.
- No-code-change deployment: When developing, you use predefined code compartiments to organize your code. For deployment you can flexibly define in what process each compartiment should run.

CSLA .NET

Categories:
Author: Rockford Lhotka
Latest version: 3.0
Description: The CSLA .NET framework (Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture) is an object-oriented application development framework.
Business objects based on the framework support features to simplify the creation of Windows Forms, Web Forms and Web Services interfaces.
CSLA .NET is designed to allow flexibility in object persistence, so business objects can use virtually any data sources available. The framework is designed to enable single tier and n-tier models through the concept of mobile objects.

Features include:
- Smart data: A business object encapsulates all the data and behavior (including persistence logic) associated with the object it represents.
- Typed collections: The framework defines a standard way to create collection objects which represent a collection of objects. This allows an object model to map to a relational database's data model.
- Object persistence: Data creation, retrieval, updates, and deletes (CRUD) are performed by clearly defined methods of the business object associated with the data.
- Persistence state maintenance
- N-Level undo
- Business rule tracking
- Validation rules
- Support for WCF, WPF and WF

Naked Objects Framework

Categories:
Author: Naked Objects Group
Latest version: 1.2.1
Description: Framework for designing and developing business systems that delivers the benefits of the naked objects approach.
I the naked objects approach writing a business application implies writing only the business domain objects themselves. All business functionality is implemented as behaviours or methods on those objects. These business objects are then presented directly and automatically to the user, by means of a completely generic viewing mechanism. Similarly, the persistence layer can be generated completely automatically from the domain object definitions (manual mapping will still be required if the objects must interface with existing databases).
