Complete CSLA newbie - can't get anything to compile #282

Open leighwebber opened 7 years ago

leighwebber commented 7 years ago

I can't find a walkthrough for creating the simplest Hello World CSLA application. Assuming I have a brand new Windows 8.1 machine with DotNet framework 4.6.2 and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, but nothing installed, what are the exact steps to follow for installing Visual Studio, installing and compiling CSLA source code, and creating an MVC Hello World app?

I have used VS 2013 Ultimate for years, and I have the .NET Framework 4.6.2. I purchased the complete set of CSLA eBooks, and read the first two. But those books don't say where to unzip the samples to. And when I do unzip them and try to open a solution, I am deluged with over 80 fatal errors, compatibility complaints, missing this or that, etc. I tried downloading the full CSLA from the web, but that's no better. I have tried using NuGet to get the CSLA packages, but that's chaos as well.

I am trying to create an MVC application and also a WinForms application. I don't need Silverlight, Xamarin, WPF, Android, etc. etc. Just the minimum pieces necessary for MVC and WinForms.

Is this info available anywhere?

I am of course willing to install a newer version of Visual Studio.

You must install Visual Studio 2015 to compile the source code.
