Rick;

Thank you for the information. A light framework is just what we need! With a team our size we expect to develop a custom library but need to get a jump start. I will check out the link.

>>A question if I may. I do ASP work for Toyota/General Motors. We are moving to .NET and I would like to know what type of applications you would recommend your framework to be use with? We do data entry (defective parts), control rework and obtain reports as one example. We also do things to control the production line (PLC & ALC for example).

It just provides the basic data access layer, business object layer and a number of common support classes primarily for Web applications but also from WinForms. As such it's more like a rich toolset than a full framework.

Rick wrote somewhere that .NET makes hard things easy and easy things hard, and it seems he has tried to fix that problem.
