    • Configuration tool support
    • ASP.NET integration

Hi Tom,

what's the stability like in the release, and are there many breaking changes from the 2.0 release?  I'd love to get some of the features from the new release into production.

Peter - we aren't aware of any significant stability issues in this release, although we do have a list of minor issues we are yet to look at. However there is still a lot of testing that has not yet been completed, so we don't know what other issues are lurking. Given this we don't recommend using CTP releases in production applications. Depending on your project timeframe it may be feasible to start developing using a CTP if there is enough time to switch to the final release once it's available.

Hi Tom,

Is ETW logging sink going to be available in  Enterprise Logging block 3.0? It was available in version 1.1 but was missing from 2.0.

Hi Bhavuk -

Actually the Logging Application Block never included an ETW sink - you're probably thinking of EIF. Unfortunately we won't be adding ETW support until managed APIs are provided in the .NET Framework.

Is there any support for Sybase in DAAB?

Or any pointers to extend the DAAB to support sybase would be helpfull.

Thanks

# Rolling Flat File

Just a quick query on the new Rolling Flat file logger - maybe it's just a CTP thing, but I would have thought this would have been a simple extension to the existing flat file logger with two new properties: RollInterval and RollSizeKB. It doesn't even appear to support formatters? (i.e. No formatter property).

# re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 January 2007 CTP

Hi Murray -

Yes it's a CTP thing. There are a few known issues with the first drop, including lack of formatter support, which will be fixed in the final release. We considered updating the existing implementation, but we're changing some of the details of locking etc and we didn't want to break any apps that relied on the existing behavior.

Tom,

there's a potential problem in the way you're handling the Transaction.TransactionCompleted event.  There's a known bug where the TransactionEventArgs.Transaction has already been disposed when you receive the event.

I encountered this and found it described here:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=914869&SiteID=1

This may affect your TransactionScopeConnections class.

Ok, I feel like an idiot.   I downloaded the file and it has no extension...just "Enterprise".   What do I do?  

Thursday, February 15, 2007 1:55 PM by tomholl

# re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 January 2007 CTP

Ashley - This sounds like the download failed for some reason - it should be an .msi file you can install. Have you tried downloading again (possibly from a different machine if the corrupt file is being cached)?

Ok, I guess downloading it using Mozilla doesn't work.  It worked fine using IE.

Actually it does. Just rename the file to Enterprise.msi and run it. It worked fine for me.
