Thanks to Burim Ratkoceri who noticed that the CSLA 2005 Project Templates were missing a boolean field in the custom fields section.  This field should be called AutoGenBusinessRules and needs to be added to the two language-specific project templates for CSLA 2005 and the aggregate one as well.  Any CodeBreeze Projects already created using any of these three Project Templates need to either re-apply the project template or edit the project-specific project template and add the field there as well.  The field is being accessed by the BusinessObjectBase code templates in order to generate StringRequired and StringMaxLength business rules based on database information.

Today, Monday Sept. 1st (Labor Day), we're pushing out the fix in build 1.0.0089.

We've mentioned before that CodeBreeze 1.1 will have improved template error reporting for debugging purposes.  This means that compilation errors in the code template are traced back to the actual line in the code template that caused them.  This will now be reported in an error panel much like the one in Visual Studio.  The new panel will list errors out with their line number and the code template in which they were found.  This is relevant because of another great new feature: nested code templates, and compiling a code template also compiles any sub-templates in the tree.  Also like Visual Studio, double clicking on an error in the panel will expose the culprit template and jump that line where the error will be shown in an underline.  This is going to make tracking errors in code templates unbelievable easier than it currently is.

We've decided to not wait until CodeBreeze 1.1 for the release of CSLA 3.5 templates.  Too many people have expressed interest in them immediately and we can't ignore the importance of that.  There will be one more build of CodeBreeze 1.0 before the release of 1.1 and it will ship with CSLA 3.5 templates.  Not only that, but the folder structure of the CSLA2005 templates has changed for better organization.  We will also release separate project templates for C# and VB-based CodeBreeze Projects so your menus are not cluttered up with options you don't use.  If you still want the ability to generate for either language within a single CodeBreeze Project, the existing Project Templates are not going anywhere.  CodeBreeze 1.0.0088 will release by the end of this week.

Thank you everyone for your feedback and support, and thank you for riding us so hard on the CSLA 3.5 templates - it was worth it.
