CSLA 6 prerelease 4 online

[rockfordlhotka]

I am pleased to announce that CSLA 6 prerelease 4 is available in nuget.

This prerelease includes some important fixes and changes based on your feedback from prerelease 3. Nothing replaces your input into this process, and I am deeply grateful for those of you who are taking time to provide feedback.

• Fixed an issue where more than one DI scope was being created for logical server-side processing
• FIxed issue with lazy loaded properties
• Lazy loaded properties can now access an IDataPortal<T> via the new protected GetDataPortal method
• Add RegisterContextManager method in config
• Normalized some config API irregularities
• Blazor now has its own application context manager that works with Blazor authentication
• Business and authorization rule context objects now have a GetDataPortal method to make it possible for a rule to invoke the data portal
• Implement a new interceptor capability in the server-side data portal, where it is possible to register multiple interceptors that are invoked before/after a data portal operation method is called - you can use this for many purposes such as logging or exception handling
• Implement an interceptor that sanitizes server-side exceptions, removing potentially sensitive information that shouldn't be returned to an unknown client in the case of an exception

Many thanks to

Hi @rockfordlhotka I'm just wondering if you have a best- and worst-case estimate of when you think CSLA 6 will be ready for prime time? I'm hoping to start a new Blazor project in the near future and would prefer to go straight to .NET 6.0 if possible. Blazor is still quite new for me and I am re-reading Using CSLA 5: Blazor and WebAssembly presently.

@michaelcsikos today I finished what I believe to be the final work item for CSLA 6, other than updating the samples and ProjectTracker - which might reveal other items that need resolution.

That said, the Blazor, MVC, Razor Pages, WPF, and Windows Forms samples were already updated for previous prereleases, so I don't expect major surprises from them.

So we're in the end game with CSLA 6 at this point. I'd absolutely recommend you use CSLA 6, especially for server-side Blazor (since CSLA 5 has a major flaw), but also for Blazor wasm.
