Patterns and Practice Application Blocks now part of the Enterprise Library
Now may be I'm the only one to miss this but the
Application Blocks that were from the Patterns and Practices group are now all
rolled up in to the Enterprise Library. Check out https://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/entlib.asp
The application blocks that comprise the Enterprise
Library are the following:
- Caching Application Block. This application block allows developers to incorporate a local cache
in their applications. - Configuration Application Block. This application block allows applications to read and
write configuration information. - Data Access Application Block. This application block allows developers to incorporate standard
database functionality in their applications. - Cryptography Application Block. This application block allows developers to include
encryption and hashing functionality in their applications. - Exception Handling Application Block. This application block allows developers and policy
makers to create a consistent strategy for processing exceptions that occur
throughout the architectural layers of enterprise applications. - Logging and Instrumentation Application
Block. This application block allows
developers to incorporate standard logging and instrumentation functionality
in their applications. - Security Application Block. This application block allows developers to incorporate security
functionality in their applications. Applications can use the application
block in a variety of situations, such as authenticating and authorizing users
against a database, retrieving role and profile information, and caching user
profile information.
