Two static Csla.IDataPortalFactory instances

[michaelcsikos]

We have some common business classes in a shared DLL which are used by multiple add-ins for Advance Steel. The UI is WinForms. I'm thinking about a scenario where two different add-ins are loaded at the same time and both use some of the common classes, e.g. Bolt and Plate.

Using CSLA 8, both add-ins could set up their own static Csla.IDataPortalFactory and be able to handle the factory operations for the common classes. Does it actually matter which IDataPortalFactory instance handles the requests for the common classes?

Hi. In case of a WinForms app it should not matter because you typically use the root provider to retrieve all your dependencies.
The only case where that won't work - or at least might have some hard to find problems - would be when you use di scopes which are disposed during runtime. In that case you can for example hit ObjectDisposedExceptios because a BO resolved by such a scope uses the service provider of the scope.
