HSS Core Framework v4.0

for .NET 4 and Silverlight 4/5.

The HSS Core Framework extends the .NET Framework providing several key sub-systems that provide enhanced functionality and consistency to any product. By leveraging the HSS Core Framework, you can reduce and simplify any application development project.

UPDATE June 2012 - v4.5.100
Minor release to add support for Silverlight 5 to the Virtual Services

UPDATE June 2011 - v4.3.200

Virtual WCF Service and Silverlight Client
- A client side Asynchronous version of your service interface is no longer required for Silverlight
- You will need to link or duplicate your interface in the client application
- New way: VirtualChannel<ITestService>.Invoke(s => s.InvokeActionAsyncTest(p1, p2));
- Old way: VirtualChannel<ITestService>.Invoke("InvokeActionAsyncTest", new object[] { p1, p2 });

Some of the major features and sub-systems

Logging library and applications:
