Re: Application Blocks

Applications blocks are really helpful, they are the implementation of patterns and best practices and also they have been tested by a lot of people.

(They have released many versions, the latest one is the Enterprise Library January 2006 for .NET 2.0)

They have learned from its previous versions enhancing the code in all the aspects (flexibility, performance, security ...) The code is excellent and really easy to understand, if it doesn't cover your specific necessities you can modify (or extend) it as you wish.

Highly recommendable.

Hi All,

I just wanted some feedback about which Application blocks people are
using and why.
Are they worth the time to learn? Do they increase development speed
over time?

I just want your general feedback.
I am going to do the tutorials on the Security Application Block this
weekend to see if its useful. But there's many more and I want to know
what real gain people might be getting out of them.

Cheers,
Steve
