Ron, Scott, and I will be giving another webcast on Enterprise Library tomorrow. This time we'll be presenting the
Cryptography Application Block. Based on my experience from the
Exception Handling Webcast, these webcasts are a total blast and I highly encourage you to attend. Attending live allows you to ask questions to the experts, however, if you can't you can still register and view the archives at your convience. Don't forget to register for the
other EntLib webcasts as well.
Register now if you want to watch Ron Jacobs and myself give a webcast on the Enterprise Library Exception Handling block.
Check out
Dave Mulder's post on an EntLib configuration extension created by
a couple of Avanade employees Olaf Conijn. This extension generates a class with constants based on named configuration items. For example, if you create an Exception Policy with the name of "MyPolicy", you can access a class with a constant named "MyPolicy". This helps prevent runtime configuration errors due to the misspelling of named configuration items. The downside is that you'll have to recompile if you add a new named configuration item. However, other configuration items can still be changed on the fly.
