Determining if the CSLA is running in "client" or a "server" mode

[GreatBarrier86]

Question. Hope this should be relatively easy. Is there a built-in way to determine if CSLA is running in client/server mode? I would imagine a few possibilities, but i was curious first if there is a built-in method. My goal is to only execute certain code in OnDeserialized if we're in client mode, but i dont know if there is a good method.

The problem with my ideas below is that if you have a 4-tier application (client -> another server -> app server -> database), both of the ideas would show that it's Client mode on another server because those values would be set.

!String.IsNullOrWhitespace(Csla.ApplicationContext.DataPortalUrlString)
or
Csla.ApplicationContext.DataPortalProxy != "local"

My last idea would be just a bool we set somewhere that is IsClientMode that we set in each of our application's inits.

You can use Csla.ApplicationContext.ExecutionLocation to determine where the code is currently running.

E.g. check to see if running on client:

if (Csla.ApplicationContext.ExecutionLocation != ApplicationContext.ExecutionLocations.Server)
{

}

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your question...

It seems like you did. The ExecutionLocation values are correct as i expected them to be when i debugging both the client and server. Unless i misunderstood the use case for that property.
