Application block usage

Question

User-14001990 posted

Hi,

There are so many applications in the Ms Enterprise Library but there is no good article on how to use them.

Does anybody know how to use these application blocks in custom applications?

ARe the Blocks built using Design patterns?

If so can somebody point me to a resource where I can come to know the DP's used in the blocks.

Thanks

Hi Angad,

Thanks for your reply.

What about the other Applications Blocks like Data Access, Security etc which are more important than the ones u mentioned?

Hi Angad,

Thanks for your reply.

I went thru' your article and found that the following vital info is missing:

1)Installation of the Enterprise Library.

2) What are the best practices and how it is achieved by using the block?

3) What is the need for a policy?

4) " Each exception type within the policy can have one or more exception handlers." - Why so?

David haydens article is very confusing.

The Dotnetjohn article is good.

Good Attempt  at writing an article.
