Enterprise Library 3.0 released! 2

[iaresean]

This message is targeted at ca8msm, the person who introduced me to the Microsoft Patterns and Practices Enterprise Library.

What a wonderful addition to my programming arsenal it has been! My coding has grown so much and I can now easily incorporate standards based enterprise ready solutions at a fraction of the time.

The Enterprise Library 3 looks amazing too! The addition of the validator application block has an absolutely fantastic feature (and a long awaited one too). This is the final addition to my object-based programming method I have employed since I initially began using the Enterprise Library.

For any of you ASP.NET developers out there that wish to take their programming to another level I would certainly recommend looking into it!

Check it out here:

Enjoy! :-D

Can someone please post a link?

Are we talking about the 3.0 net library?



(I hate being the new kid, but it's so fun learning)

Hey, I did post a link to the project.

But, LOL, it looks like codeplex currently has an ASP.NET error they need to resolve. :-D

Hectic.

You can download it here in the mean time:

It comes with awesome documentation.

Sean,

What blocks have you started using? Personally, I only used the Data Access Application Block in the previous release and as far as I can tell, the only improvements to this block are:

The April 2007 release of the Data Access Application Block includes the following improvements:

* It now includes a new class named SqlCeDatabase that allows you to use SQL Server Compact Edition (CE). This is a lightweight, in-process version of SQL Server that includes the essential functions of a relational database.
* It now includes a new overload of the Database.UpdateDatabase method that uses the updateBatchSize parameter. Setting the UpdateBatchSize parameter to a positive integer value causes the DataAdapter object to send updates to the database as batches of the specified size. This reduces the number of database round trips.

I don't use either of those two methods anyway so although I will probably upgrade, I'm not sure how much of an impact it will have on what I use the block for.

As I said, I don't use any of the other blocks so I'd be interested to hear what blocks other people use and what improvements they are impressed with.
