I'm trying to convert an application using the 1.1 version of the Enterprise Library Caching block over to the 2.0 version. I think where I'm really having a problem is that the configuration for the different EntLib pieces was split out over several files. Apparently, this used to be handled by the ConfigurationManagerSectionHandler, ...
Hi All, I'm looking for a way to configure a DB connection at runtime; specifically using the Enterprise Library. I see that there's a *.Data.Configuration (or something close to this ... don't recall off the top of my head) assembly but am finding not much on the interwebs. Complicating matters is the fact that the API help is broken...
For a .NET component that will be used in both web applications and rich client applications, there seem to be two obvious options for caching: System.Web.Caching or the Ent. Lib. Caching Block.

Currently we have Enterprise Library Logging going to the Event Log & a rolling flat file, but I'd like to implement database level logging so that I can have much better browsing/filtering/grouping ability. While I could write this by hand (and have, in fact, for log4net in the past) I though I'd ask the question: Are there any good l...

I'd like a dead simple explanation of policy injection for less-informed co-workers. Where is a good resource for this? I learned about policy injection from the entlib help files, which I'm sure aren't the best option. ...
I'm running WCSF Feb 2008 along with Enterprise Library 3.1 and noticed that randomly I get the "fun" Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, Public ...

When logging with Log4Net it's very easy to put class that called the log into the log file. I've found in the past that this makes it very easy to trace through the code and see the flow through the classes. In Log4Net I use the %logger property in the conversion pattern like so: <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %l...
