If you have listened to any of the web casts that we have done, you might have heard me mention the “Delta Lounge”. This is the name we affectionately called the conference room that we took over when we developed Enterprise Library. Ron Jacobs...

I know the authoring experience for Enterprise Library can be better. We are already working on that for V2. ThisBytes5 has created a cool tool to help. Everyone drop by and say hi and give him (and us) how we can make this better for you. Check it out...

I must apologise to my fellow p&p’rs (ok say that really fast and not laugh). While not an official member of the family, it is built on top of Enterprise Library (namely configuration). Go get it and see another interesting use of Enterprise...

I know that we have a link on the start menu to run the batch file that registers all the assemblies instrumentation, but there is an easier way. The batch file (Install Services.bat) requires that you have VS installed and assumes that you have it installed...

Wow! Even Soma is blogging about Enterprise Library . Now playing: The Crystal Method - Cherry Twist

For those of you who have been watching the web casts, thanks. Ron has been awesome to work with and has some great hands-on labs that you should download and work through. I have heard from several people that they are awesome at helping them get over...

What can I say… it doesn’t work all that well right now (of course we never intended it to). I am actually working on my first pass (getting it to run) on .NET 2.0. I know some of you are having problems and I will do my best to post my findings...

I know a lot of people have heard about the discussion between log4net and the Logging Block in Enterprise Library; Tom has crafted a response for everyone here . Now playing: Velvet Revolver - Sucker Train Blues

As I sit here in a ~54US a share coffee house (hopefully will be having a 2 for 1 sell soon), I am pondering the question… “how can we build a better community?”. I have been trying to answer questions on the GotDotNet site (that never...

Thanks for all those who attened. Just wanted to make an update to my stumble on the Parameter Cache. The Paramter Cache is static, so when you cycle the instance it keeps up with the paramters . Boy do I feel sheepish.

Another thing I thought I would never see… Olaf created a pretty creative way of extending the actual Configuration Console tool itself. With this extension you actually take advantage of the Service Provider model exposed in the tool. Because...

Peter asked an interesting question that I am would love to know the answer from you. What do you guys think about the unit tests in the code? Did you know they were there? Are you writing extensions or changing the code and using them to verify everything...

Last week I did a podcast (why do we call it that when we use the WMA format?) with Ron Jacobs on the ConfigurationContext. I know that the talk was abstract and probably a little hard to follow and I hope to clear that up today with another explanation...

Another patch and examples for how to do Configuration Design is available on the workspace . This one includes a provider and designer for storing configuration in your app.config / web.config, registry and Sql Server. Have fun and enjoy.
