Enterprise Library and Application blocks

I have been using the .Net application blocks for quite a while now and it is great to see that they will have a successor in the future, check out the blog of Scott Densmore,Enterprise Library 'The Day After'.For those of you who don't know the application blocks, take a look at them. Application blocks are basically parts of code which can be freely downloaded from MSDN, they contain samples and source code so you can easily extend them. They are written with best practices in mind and are nicely documented.



Overview application blocks
  • Exception Management application block - I have used in about every project I have done in the last couple of years. This block allows publishing of errors to the eventlog, xml files, databases without you having to write all the plumbing code. It is not even so hard to write your own exception publishers

  • Data Access application block: I use it less since I prefer the XS2 SQLdataaccessor from Sunblad

  • Aggregation application block

  • Caching application block

  • Updater application block

  • User interface process application block : looks very nice, definitely going to take a look at it when I find the time
