The Web Client Software Factory is a combination of frameworks to give any .NET web app a head start using the Model View Presenter pattern and the Microsoft Enterprise Library for things such as Error handling policies and Logging. In this way you can be assured that you are starting with a bedrock that is fully testable and refactored. It also provides guidance with real-life samples to get you up and running. We have a team that have built a common framework for the Lend Lease .NET development team based on the WCSF, using LINQ as well in VS 2008.
I looked at using this for my last project at Pfizer - but the project didn't give us the luxury of learning and adapting this framework on the job. We now have the support of Lend Lease to develop this framework which is fantastic.
One issue is that the "recipes" that generate the stubs for different modules don't work with 2008 (even though the code compiles). There are hacks to get the WCSF working in 2008 - but we are just having the team leads of the different projects generating these stubs in 2005 for the other developers.
One of the techniques that the Web Client Software Factory relies upon is
dependency injection. A good description of it can be found here:
