patterns & practices – Enterprise Library

Are there any breaking changes from EL V2.0?

Any Improvements to support Oracle Transperantly??
Are there any chnages to UpdateDataset to handle update scenario?

Currently the Tracer constructor takes one operation parameter (it is required that this operation is registered as a source). I wondered if the concept of a constructor with two parameters makes sense, the first being source, the second being the message logged. In this way there is less pressure on the number of sources needed to configure.

Are there any Hands-On-Labs to support your new release?
Thanks

Can we start porting our existing codes (local app. blocks) to entLib 3.0 or should we wait a little more?

Can't find EL source code in VB.Net? Is it only available in C#?

Hi ,

Thanks & Regards

The Visual Studio integrated configuration editor works fine and is VERY cool but the EXTERNAL tool does not seem to work properly anymore. This may be a problem on deployment sites where Visual Studio is not always available.

If I click on C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library 3.0 - April 2007\Bin\EntLibConfig.exe and open a configuration file I get an unhandled exception:
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.AppSettings.Configuration.Design.AppSettingsConfigurationDesignManager' from assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.AppSettings.Configuration.Design, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

Any suggestions?

Why does the new Enterprise Library not support Windows 2000?
What will break?

Why is there no discussion group for Enterprise Library? How do we report bugs in Enterprise Library?

Hi ,I had an 1.1 Frameworked Application which I later migrated to 2.0. Recently I tried to add ExcelPackage.Dll (a new third Party Dll) in to my application but I encountered following error message while Adding Reference to it.A reference to ExcelPackage.dll could not be added. Error Parsing application configuration file at line 10. Type{http://www.microsoft.com/practices/enterpriselibrary/08-31-2004/readonlyconfigurationsectiondata} is not found in schema. I checked that my Enterprise Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration was of Version=1.0.0.0 . I believe i had to upgrade my Enterprise Dll to new version, is that so? If yes, How would i do that.I did installed the January 2006 Enterprise Library pack, but dont know how to proceed further? I would appreciate if anyone could help me with the issue.

Any ideas or directions about integrating application blocks 3.0 with .Net3.5 + WPF apps

I have upgraded my application from EntLib 2.0 toEntLib 3.0. The app uses CAB 2005 Dec version. When I compile the app, it is giving so many errors due to compatibility issues of latest ObjectBuilder(1.0.51206.0) and CAB 2005 (1.0.51205.0) dlls.
Error Message:
The type 'Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.IBuilderAware' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder, Version=1.0.51205.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
Is the latest ObjectBuilder not compatible with the CAB dlls?

Hi, Does Enterprise Library 3.0 include the patch to 2.0 that allows it to work in a partial trust environment?

I found that in Ent Lib 3.0 (actually this issue is there from June 2005 release) to call an oracle stored procedure that returns a cursor, the stored procedure has to have the parameter defined as cur_OUT IN OUT. This annoys us, as we have lot of existing oracle packages which does a different name and we cannot change this, as there are some other applications calling these stored procedures and it's not possible for us to change all these applications to bind the cursor name to "cur_OUT". Is there any workaround for this?
