You should see Enterprise Library :) There are many blocks for caching, configuration, cryptography, exception handling, logging and security. The user interface process application block(UIP) is very useful, it uses mvc pattern in many ways, and it works without the full enterprise library, so..., you can create an application block without the full library.
There is a data mapper block that is in construction, but we choose IBatis mapper and dao because it's much more complete for our system requirements. The configurator application is a win32 application (open source) that you can extend, and help you to configure your application using xml files. It's a separated application. - Configuration: make easier to IBatis data mapper is much better than the enteprise Library application block Em (08:12:41), [email protected] escreveu: >I don't know of anyone who has started working on a configurator.
