Third drop of the Enterprise Library 5.0 Silverlight Integration Pack is now available on Codeplex. What’s in the drop?

The talk Bob and I gave at the p&p Redmond summit in October is now available for online viewing. In it we discuss and demo (use time breakpoints  to fast forward to a specific topic): the overall theme of the release – simplicity & improved user experience (00:00) data accessors (06:25) higher performing logging (18:00) fluent configuration interface (20:32) config tool facelift and making it easier to plug in custom extensions to the config tool (30:18) – honouring validation attributes between VAB and System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations (41:08) tackling external and internal complexity with architectural refactoring and resulting testability improvements  (42:16) container independence (43:34) Enjoy! If you like what you see and want to play with EntLib5.0, download the most recent bits from entlib.codeplex.com and provide your feedback.

If you are offering industrial or academic courses or workshops that use Enterprise Library or Unity, I hope you are already taking advantage of our updated Hands-On Labs .

I would like to thank all who attended WIN406 – Dependency Injection with Enterprise Library 4.1 . I hope your time in the session was worth the investment. If I’ve been successful, you already downloaded Unity and can’t wait to use it on your current project, right?! For me it has been a wonderful experience to have the opportunity to talk to a so distinctive audience, and see a growing interest on Enterprise Library and Dependency Injection in general.

First of all, thanks to all people who have provided their inputs to the EntLib5.0 backlog (please keep them coming!). One story seems to be mentioned way too many times. It is related to DAAB integration with Entity Framework

We’ve started our planning of the Enterprise Library 5. This is your chance to send us suggestions, comments, screams..
