Enterprise Library 3.5 for Visual Studio 2008
After releasing Enterprise Library 3.X last May, and starting the Enterprise Library Contrib project, the team is currently working on porting Enterprise Library to work with Visual Studio 2008. According to Grigori Melnik, this includes improving existing application blocks as well as guidance on how to use them. Melnik also mentions, that moving to Enterprise Library 3.5 does not include introducing new application blocks. No official date was provided, but we can expect the release to be available after February 2008, after Visual Studio 2008 is officially launched.
Together with this release we can also expect to find updated Hands On Labs that will also include labs for the Validation Application Block and Policy Injection Application Block that were introduced in Enterprise Library 3.0.
