Some bloody cool Enterprise Library v2 Extensions

  • 项目

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party here - but better late than never! There are a couple of really cool community extensions to the Enterprise Library configuration tool that should be of interest to a lot of you.

First, Olaf Conijn has updated his way-cool Environmental Overrides plug-in for the new .NET 2.0 release of Enterprise Library. (Update: The threads of the universe are converging, and Olaf has updated his extensions to work with Colin's Integration Pack listed below.)Since a picture tells 2^10 words, take a look:

Not to be outdone, Colin Coller has just released his Avanade Integration Pack for Enterprise Library which finally addresses our elusive goal of integrating the config tool into Visual Studio - we'd planned this for the last 3 versions but it keeps on getting cut. So thanks to Colin for his efforts in filling this hole and sharing with the community!

And finally, some late breaking news ;-). Alois Kraus has put together an extension that addresses an annoying problem in v2 whereby the tool needs to be able to locate the assemblies for all block plug-in types in order to load the configuration (we tried really hard to avoid this problem without luck - I'll explain why in another posting). Great work Alois!

    Hi Tom,

    I am not sure if it is good enough to mention it. I have created a configurable Assembly Loader for the Entlib Config tool to make App.Config editing easier.

    It seems Colin Coller has pulled the link to the Avanade Integration Pack for Enterprise Library.

    "UPDATE: Download temporarily disabled while we resolve some issues on our side."

    from the colinco site.

    Cool Tools for the others

    Thanks Haaron - the Data Tier Generator is indeed cool as well - but is there really an Enterprise Library 2.0 version? The releases on the site appear to be for the 1.1 release (or am I suffering from domestic blindness?)

    Haaron,
    The DataTierGenerator code you released on GDN happens to be tagged with a GPL license.  This /could/ pose a problem for EntLib users, since EntLib's EULA forbids distribution with GPL code (implicitly).

    Perhaps it's not a problem if the code is not compiled together -- but I just wanted to let you know of the question.

    What do I mean by DRY? Don't Repeat Yourself. Do you often times find yourself repeating the same code...
