What are the Open source options available for Business Object design framework in .NET. One we are already using is CSLA.NET by Rockford Lhotka, which is a very good framework. But I am interested in knowing other options. If anyone know any other good one please reply here.

Try NHibernate. It's a lot different from CSLA. NHibernate is an ORM.

Very different than the original question asks for but this is pretty much my answer, it appalls me to have to constrain my domain objects to ANYTHING other than what I explicitly want, NHibernate is really the only option for a pure POCO Domain without handrolling a custom DAL based on ADO.NET DataReaders or similar.

Hello,
If you are looking for Business Object design framework and a ORM, I'd recommend PLINQO. It has a ton of documentation, extremely quick, supports batch operations, auditing and has a rules engine.
If you are staying with CSLA, I'd recommend checking out our CSLA Templates as well. It generates a working DAL so you can focus more on the BO design and less on how you are going to populate it.
