Hi,

I wan to use the enterprise library for the first time. Is there any samples, quick start guide or ebook is available for a quick start and learn the basics.

I have vs2008, so which version of EL should I use?

And if somebody can just brief about Enterprise Library. Because as per my understanding, is this a mixture of design patterns and some pre-made blocks of source code.

Thanks.

 from MSDN

The Microsoft Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks designed to assist developers with common enterprise development challenges. Application blocks are a type of guidance, provided as source code that can be used "as is," extended, or modified by developers to use on enterprise development projects.

You can read/learn more at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd203099.aspx

Let me know further Queries.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for posting such a valuable links. I like the video part but

sad it is for EL 4.0/5, but I am looking for very basic video, how to config the

enterprise library, how do some very basic coding in a .Net project.

I am not able to find those videos, if you have it , please let me know where

I can download it.

Thanks.
