Application blocks are not how-to-do's, but series of reusable components. They are not a whole framework, but some of the pieces to build one.

Take a look at:
http://spacefold.com/colin/archive/articles/sql_backend/backend.htmand
http://gsraj.tripod.com/dotnet/object_spaces/account.html>And still the question remains what happened to .Net Busuness Framework project?
After reading the article it seems that it is referring to an initiative that will take a long time. I would bet it is about making the whole ERP suite -from Navision, Great Plains, or a mix of both- run over the .Net platform (who knows when? who knows how the strategy will be?), the most probably Microsoft will publish a set of APIs, namespaces, or whatever resource for all of us to start writing extensions to that monster.
I'd not wait for something like this to take form. If you're waiting for a business application framework, I recommend to look somewhere else.
If you read Spanish, maybe this can be interesting:

>I did look at MM.Net, but... let's just say (no offence Kevin) "this is not what i'm talking about". Or at least it was not a year ago.
>I was a little new to C# then so I took their beta version, dissected it and tried to accomodate to my view of what I wanted the framework to be. Well, there was not much left of MM at the end... Unfortunately, as i said, we've been on and off, mostly off, the whole .Net thing and writing your own framework is a little too much work for one person doing something else fulltime. I would estimate it to be about 60% done, but i've been known to underestimate :)
>I know their released version is much better then what it was when I looked at the code, but I haven't had a chance to see anything but documentation and it doesn't look like the concept has changed. But perhaps i'm wrong, still working on that..
Best luck,
