Enterprise Library : Configuration Part 1.1.1 - Storage Providers

Great Stuff Scott,

A few little things:

Most of us will have run the installer and so our folder structure will be different to yours for the solution file, so assuming people will put the "Extensions" folder into "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library\src" then the path to the Common and Configuration Projects in the solution file become "..\Common\Common.csproj" and "..\Configuration\Configuration.csproj" respectively.

Could we have the missing Readme.txt file?

I took some advice from the original documentation and strong named the enterprise library dlls and put them into the GAC, now I find I cannot run the NUnit tests. Do you have any advice to get around this one? The test complains that it cannot load "Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Tests.ConfigurationData"

Cheers... Steve

Scott,

I would like to see the REAL samle of how to use the config. block with MY SQL DB storage. I understand there is no default provider neither transformer (if needed?) to accomplish this. Interesting to see the example of the finished solution on this.
Or may be you can point me out to the place where I can get one?

Thanks, Serge

Scott,

Question is same as from Serge,
when would we see some SQL database Storage Provider and SQL Serializer Transformer?

Thanks

So, am I correct in assuming that a change (made dynamically) to my web applications configuration file will end up restarting the webserver even though the actual configuration changes are made to a file external to the one in "\bin"?

On our current project, we're creating databases on the fly through a web interface and therefore need to store the details of these new DB's in config files.So it's not feasible to restart the webserver each time a config change is made as everybody logged in will lose their work. I hope I'm wrong. If not, is there an easy way out or do I have to roll up my sleeves and hack away at the source?

Thanks.

Sorry I meant the web app needs to be restarted, not the webserver.

You can save changes to external configuraiton (it is not in the external xml file if you are using the out of box support) without it restarting the web app. As long you don't update the meta-data configuration, you will not get a restart.

Hey Scotty,

A wee question, I am new to EntLib, I have strong named the EntLib assemblies, but when I try to open the (web.config in my case) config files using the EntLib Configuration editor it doesn't load it properly. Also if I have App Setting elements sitting in my config it comes up with an error box. How to tackle this?

Help appreciated.

BTW: G8 stuff with EntLib

Cheers

There is something I don't like in EntLib ConfigAB. It's the thread polling of ConfigurationChangeFileWatcher class. See my blog at:

I'm in line with Serge and Mario :)

I tried to extend the Config block with my own MySqlStorageProvider and MySqlTransformer but, so far, I've failed.

admittedly, I'm new to the EL, so, maybe what I'd really need would be an explanation of what is *striclty* necessary in a StorageProvider child and in a Transformer child.

Furthermore, I'm interested to see if you'd use the Data Access block to make a provider and transformer dealing with a database (I'd think so, but, heck, what do I know?)

Thanks for all the great work so far,
F.O.R.

My Web Method is calling an ASP.NET assembly. This assembly is using Enterprise Library - Data Access Blocks. When I consume my web method it gives me an error indicating that web service project does not have definition to dataconfiguration.config file.

Why is there a requirement for defining the EntLib configuration information in the web service project's web.config file?

Plz clarify.

Cheers

Hi JayG,

You don't have to define your data in web.config, what is defined there is the meta-data. The error sounds like you defined the meta-data in the web.config file, but you the configuration system cannot find the file containing the external configuration named "dataconfiguration.config". If you look in the web.config file under the section "dataConfiguration" you should see a path which is the file that the configuration system is looking for. Make sure this path is reachable by the configuraiton system and you should be fine.

Isolated Storage Provider for Enterprise Library.Configuration

Hello,
I have tried to strong name the EL but it is not working for me. Let me explain the process I have followed so you can tell me what I am doing wrong.

1. I create the snk file
2. I open the Enterprise Library Solucion.
3. Add the URL to the snk file to all the Assemblies info
4. When I compile I get errors, specially in the Design projects

Other thing I did was to only sign some of the App Blocks but when I do this and open, lets say, a previous generated web.config it doesn't open correctly. It just shows the "Application" node in the configuration tool.

So my concrete question is:
How do I strong name the EL?

I really apprreaciate your help on this.
Alex.
