Binaries

djagnow — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:22:16 GMT

Tom, thanks for all the hard work that the patterns & practices team has put into the Enterprise Library. I've been using the application blocks since the pre-Enterprise Library era, and they have made a lot of things easier and more flexible.

I've only just downloaded Enterprise Library 3.0 and started through the documentation. I do have some questions about the precompiled binaries. It looks like the MSI installs the binaries in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007\Bin, but it doesn't register them in the GAC. If I use these binaries, should I assume that I need to create my own setup package to install them, register them in the GAC, install the instrumentation, and provide a shortcut to the configuration console? It would be nice to see this covered explicitly in the "Deploying the Enterprise Library" section of the help. Also, the Versioning subtopic still states that "The Enterprise Library installation package does not include compiled assemblies for the application blocks." This statement is happily no longer true. :-)

Thanks again for all the hard work!

Dan Jagnow

tomholl — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 18:55:47 GMT

Hi Dan -

Sorry that the documentation on deployment is a little stale. There isn't one "right" way of deploying EntLib with your applications - this is the main reason we don't include an installer that does what you suggest. Different applications may want to use private copies or GAC'ed copies, they may or may not want instrumentation turned on, and they may use only a subset of the assemblies.

If you do want to deploy and register a single shared copy of EntLib to your server, it should be relatively straightforward to build an MSI that installs the assemblies you need into the GAC and runs the installers in the assemblies.

Frybaby — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 00:40:50 GMT

Hey Tom,

I'm a long time user of EntLib, and have implemented 2.0 for several clients. What is the best way for me to get a handle on the stuff that is net new in the existing blocks for 3.0? I figure the default is to puruse the docs and public interfaces, but I was wondering if this information is consolidated anywhere. I'm looking forward to looking at Policy Injection. I've used Spring.net in the past to do that kind of thing, and an EntLib version will be fun to explore.

Thanks for all the work....

Hi Frybaby -

There are some "what's new" topics in the docs and on the MSDN pages (which should be up later today). But the easiest way to get up to speed on the changes is probably to view the webcast (http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032331979&culture=en-US) and download the accompanying slide deck (http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/2/2/b22eb038-fa47-4f5e-ac70-5e17d8db55aa/Enterprise%20Library%203.0%20-%20Whats%20New.ppt)

What about the partial trust issue that required a patch of the EntLib 2.0? Will 3.0 also "degrade elegantly" depending on code access security out of the box.. or should I await a patch of 3.0 before I recommend 3.0 to my developers?

re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007

tomholl — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:01:22 GMT

Yes, the partial trust patch that we released for EntLib 2.0 has been rolled into EntLib 3.0, so you can run under partial trust provided you don't use any features that require a higher trust level.

Tom,

one question regarding the symbol files (pdb) for the precompiled binaries of this release.

Since it's quite interesting for us to have matching pdb for troubleshooting purposes and still being able to use the precompiled and signed(!) binaries, is there a symbol server or a download location for the appropriate pdbs for this release?

Thanks & best regards

Michael

Hi,

I just installed Enterpise Library but the documentation link is broken. When I click on Enterprise Library Documentation link the Document Explorer opens with the following error: No topics could be located that were relevant to the F1 request. I see the documentation files on my disk in Module Retargetable Folder, but I have no way to view them without properly registering them with the Document expolorer. Could you post the proper registration file?

re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007

I was able to fix the documentation link problem by opening the Document Explorer with the following link:

"/helpcol ms-help://ms.EntLib.2007Apr /LaunchFKeywordTopic CachingQS1"

I got this link from one of the QuickStart samples. I still think this problem needs to be solved at the installer level with the patch.

re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007

tomholl — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 19:03:18 GMT

Michael - We're working on making the PDBs for the strong-named binaries available - I'll post details once we've finalized this.

Lorenzo and Frank - We'll be rolling out more tutorials in the form of webcasts and videos over the coming months - check out http://www.codeplex.com/entlib/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Videos for the first couple.

Alex and Nik - I'm not sure what the issue is here - the doc link from the start menu works fine for me. Is dexplore.exe installed somewhere different to what the shortcut expected? In any case the CHMs are available for separate download at http://www.codeplex.com/entlib/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=2899

VAB bug?

Neal Rushforth — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 23:36:52 GMT

Just playing with the VAB and have come across a problem with the Property Comparison Validator.

In the Validation QuickStart I added the following validator to the FirstName property in the configuration file

<validator operator="Equal" propertyToCompare="LastName" negated="true" messageTemplate="First Name cannot be Same as last Name"

type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Validators.PropertyComparisonValidator, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"

name="Property Comparison Validator" />

A simple test to check that FirstName and LastName cannot be the same. (I know it could happen but it was just a simple test)

Anyway I changed the Ruleset to use RuleSetB and clicked Validate. All ran well. I tried different values in First and Last Name and it worked as it should.

The problem came when I checked the 'Enable Winforms-Integrated Validation'. It presented me with the error.

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled

Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Any ideas on how to get round this, as we were looking to use the VAB in a WinForms application we are currently developing.

Also when editing the config, I noticed that the messageTemplate would be lost for a Property Comparison Validator. If I manually added it to the config it would be okay, but if I used the editor it would lose the value.

re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007

Nik — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 15:25:55 GMT

Thanks Tom!

I was also to fix my problem with the fix provided by Alex. The installer setup the shortcut as follows:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 8\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/ms.EntLib.2007Apr /LaunchFKeywordTopic EnterpriseLibrary2007Apr.Introduction /filter "Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007" (dexplore does exist in that path.)

I have changed it to:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 8\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://ms.EntLib.2007Apr /LaunchFKeywordTopic CachingQS1

Either way, I prefer the CHM for the reasons mentioned earlier, so thanks again!

re: Just Released! Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007

tomholl — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:22:04 GMT

Thanks for the detail Nik. The shortcut we use in the installer does work most of the time, but if the other syntax is more reliable we can switch to that in the future. BTW I expect that the only thing you need to change is the ms-help:// URL - the filters and the launch topics should be fine.

EL3 config editor in VS2005 corrupts config files..

I've seen this happen twice now, has anyone else? Basically, sometimes the EL3 config editor will just remove sections from the app/web.config file for no apparent reason, they just disappear both in the GUI and in the config file.

Is it just me?

Regarding the documentation problem (which I also experienced):

I tried Tom's suggestion. The following link will open up the documentation, on the EntLib introduction page (not the Caching QuickStart) and with contents filtering for EntLib Apr 2007.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 8\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/ms.EntLib.2007Apr /LaunchFKeywordTopic EnterpriseLibrary2007Apr.Introduction /filter "Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007"

Cheers,

I found a mistake.(It's not a bug.)

List of features requiring higher trust level

Tom's reply in this thread mentioned that the partial trust patch for EntLib 2.0 has been rolled into EntLib 3.0, so you can run under partial trust provided you don't use any features that require a higher trust level. Can you provide a list of "features that require higher trust level" in Entlib 3.0? thanks

Hi,

Before this release (like many others), I had been using EntLib 2.0 in my applications (mainly the DAAB). I had been waiting eagerly for support of "lightweight" transactions (TransactionScope) in the DAAB and thankfully its there now.

However I've got another issue now. It is clear that, by avoiding DTC, all of my transactional activities in applications have got faster but at the same time all non-transactional calls have a slower response time (by a small fraction though).

Looking at the code in Database.cs, it looks that the call to Transaction.Current is the real culprit for this.

I had been thinking of modifying the DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase to set something like a private boolean member in the created Database object (to indicate if its running under a transaction by checking Transaction.Current only once) and telling my developers to always initialize the Database object for transactional activities inside the TransactionScope's using block (that is already the case mostly but isn't a rule though).

However I was just wondering (and hence wanted to check) if the Enterprise Library team have already tried other options and have already done the best of all.

Thanks,
