Hello,
if I want to split my application into modules using DAF and I've some classes that're shared with the modules how can I mantain scalability ? have also I to create for each module an edmx? in order to deploy a single part without redeploying the whole application?

Thanks
Paolo

Paolo,
Is this a Silverlight application? If so you would break your application into multiple XAP files and dynamically load those at runtime as needed. DAF provides the functionality to dynamically load a XAP file via ICompositionCatalogService. Each XAP file can contain it's own EDMX and anything else that's needed for the module.
 
Here's an example demonstrating how to do it. This example also demonstrates how to send messages between applications, even if the recipient application is not loaded yet. It may have some german comments left over, because I originally created this sample for one of my customers in Germany.

Hello Marcel,
no it's a WPF n-tier application.....I take a look at your code, I think I'll need to create a .Client/.Server foreach macro-area I've am I right?
 
Thanks

Yes, the closest approach to what multiple XAPs provide is to develop multiple independent exe's.
