This patch should be applied to Enterprise Library January 2005 if you have built or are building applications compiled in .NET Framework 1.1 using Enterprise Library, and you may wish to run these applications using the .NET Framework 2.0. More details are available in the Readme file in the Documentation section of this site.

Read Scott's post and get it solved.

There are news about Enterprise Library 2.0 for use with .NET 2.0.

There's a new category (Filter) at the GotDotNet User Samples Directory: Enterprise Library.

This allows you to list all user samples developed around the famous Enterprise Library.

Currently there is shown nothing because the owners of the samples need to add the new category to the sample posting(s).

Klaus Aschenbrenner, einer der CBC05-Speaker, hat bei devx.com einen Artikel zur Enterprise Library veröffentlicht.

Seit heute gibt es einen weiteren Application Block für die Enterprise Library: Data Mapping Application Block

"The Data Mapper is a layer of software that separates the in-memory objects from the database. Its responsibility is to transfer data between the two ends to isolate them from each other. With Data Mapper the in-memory objects needn’t know even that there’s a database present; they need no SQL interface code, and certainly no knowledge of the database schema." (Fowler, Martin, Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, p. 165) Data Mappers equate to what is known as Data Access Logic Components (DALCs). This application block is intended to make it easier for producers of business DALCs to create common functionality that relates to managing "entities" with CRUD functions. The DataMapper also promotes the use of stored procedures as a best practice to abstract data access from the underlying data schema and increase performance. Finally, the DataMapper allows capabilities like the use of transactions, command timeouts, and caching properties to be added, removed, and modified through configuration when needed. For example, to add transactions or caching to a DALC, no code will need to be modified -- only configuration settings.

Tom Hollander hat in seinem Blog erste Informationen zum im Juni erscheinenden Enterprise Library 1.1 Release veröffentlicht. Neben dem Fix 1475 (für ein Memory Leak) wird es vor allem kleinere Fixes beinhalten. Außerdem werden neue Methoden zur Verwendung von DataAdaptern und Optimierungen für Oracle-Datenbanken implementiert.

Tom Hollander, einer der Enterprise Library Entwickler, hat eine Umfrage zur Verwendung der Enterprise Library bzw. der Application Blocks gestartet.

Hierbei geht es primär darum, zu erfahren welche Application Blocks bei den "Usern" ankommen und welche nicht (unter Angabe von Gründen - sonst macht es ja keinen Sinn).

Seit gestern sind die Enterprise Library 1.0 Hands On Labs zum Download verfügbar. Hierbei handelt es sich um 8 Traingseinheiten zur Enterprise Library, die jeweils in C# und VB.NET verfügbar sind.
