Hi to all,
I'm looking for an application framework that is designed for ntier windows developement, with gui, business objects, data access and data separated into different logical tiers. The reason is that We dont want to reinvent the wheel and when creating applications only concantrate on our application business, and abstact the developers from advanced .net topics.

I have found several frameworks like mere mortal .net framework but I have reached that 2 of them supports .net framework 2.0 (.NET 2005) and different from others in technology. The first one is mere mortal (http://www.oakleafsd.com/) and the other one is Lhotka (http://www.lhotka.net/ArticleIndex.aspx?area=CSLA%20.NET%2020). Both the frameworks provides scalable,object oriented and high performans applications. They seem to have almost the same properties. Except lhotka's ntier mobile objects and mere mortal's multilanguage support. can anyone who have used both or one of the frameworks and direct me to choose one of them by providing me his/her experience? or suggesting me another well design framework for .NET 2005? Thanks for all the answers..

Basic properties of these frameworks are the following :
mere mortal :
• Built-in user-configurable security
• Create multi-lingual applications that can dynamically switch between languages
• Event objects allow application events to be encapsulated, subclassed and reused
• Robust exception handling and logging protects your application’s data and makes it easy to detect and locate problems in your software.
• Factory object provides flexible class instantiation
• Numerous well-placed hooks allow you to easily modify Framework behavior
• All MM .NET Windows Forms and Web Forms controls can be bound to data by setting a few properties, and without writing any code
• MM .NET Web Forms controls provide intelligent, two-way data binding!
• Business objects can be combined with a set of super-charged user interface controls that simplify data binding, validation, security, error handling and many other mundane tasks
• Provides direction in the form of application templates, builders and documentation for creating real-world .NET applications with real-world architecture

Lhotka :
* N level undo capability
* Ntier mobile objects
* Tracking broken business rules to determine whether an object is valid
* Tracking whether an objects data has changed
* Strongly typed collections of child objects(parent-child relationships)
* A simple and abstract model for the UI developer
* Full support for data binding in both windows forms and web forms
* saving objects to a database and getting them back again
* custom authentication
* integrated authorization rules
* transactional and non-transactional data access
* other miscellaneous features (reporting,sorting collections,date handling)
