Those with a keen eye may have already discovered the 3.1 release out in the wild, first inside the new Smart Client Software Factory release, and in the last couple of days the complete MSI has been available if you searched through the MSDN download centre. But now the final pieces have come together, and the release is there for everyone to discover and download from http://msdn.microsoft.com/entlib. As mentioned in my last post, this is basically a bug fix release, so while it's not the most exciting new version hopefully it will make your lives a little easier. Thanks to the team back in Redmond for making this happen.
Yaaay! 3.1 is out.
3.11 is EntLib for workgroups?

Why is it necessary to uninstall EL 3.0??? This gives major problems in an enterprise-wide shared platform environment where we have software built over time running against different EL versions.
Is this a practice you are going to get out of for future releases? If not then the usefulness of EL will be compromised.
I would agree that if this is just a bug fix release the installer should over write existing versions. This is a major pain for large developer machine installations.
hardly related, but do you know: Was it a design decision for SCSF to be winforms based with wpf smart parts or just lack of time to integrate a wpf shell with winform smart parts?
Sorry guys - unfortuantely SxS support was too complex for the amount of time we had budgeted, mainly due to the guidance packages and VSIP plug-ins which are not very SxS friendly. Still while you can only have one version of the MSI installed at once, you can have both copies of the source and binaries on your machine at once.
James - you should ask this question on the Smart Client CodePlex site.

Can you please suggest any hosting providers that provide shared hosting that either have enterprise library available or support the use of enterprise library. I have had a fair bit of trouble with previous versions - although i understand its not its intended use - its an enterprise product and does well in an enterprise environment, i just want to use it personally as well on a cheap shared host.
Thanks for your time.

Enterprise Library 3.1 is released!
Does Enterprise Library 3.1 Supply interfaces
to Access Mysql ,Sybase?
Why are the Oracle cursors STILL hard coded? Can you please put in the solution by Rob Edwards so that we can use existing procedures that have cursor names different than cur_OUT plus have the procedure return multiple curosrs? If there is already is a fix for this, can you please post a link for it?
Hi
I found - Application Block Software Factory Guidance Package in one presentation.
I installed Enterprise Library 3.1. I got all quick starts but could not find anything about this guidance package. I already have Web Client Software Factory guidance package and i can create individual guidance package too. But why am i not able to see Application Block Software Factory in my Guidance Package queue? What am i missing?
Please guide.
Hi Jay -
The only thing I can think of now is that you may be missing some prerequisites - either GAX February 2007 CTP, or .NET 3.0, both of which are needed for the ABSF.
Let me know how you go.
I have had my share of struggle when trying to install Ent. Lib 3.0 and getting Application block Software
Hi Tom,
Today i was playing with the new EntLib 3.1 Application Block Software Factory, and i'm really impressed with the generated code. It makes life easy for developers who wants to write high quality code.
