The Whidbey provider pattern was the tip of iceberg
Note: this entry has moved.
I have
complained in the past about the shortcomings of the
Whidbey provider pattern (ASP.NET should I say?), which I always regarded as woefully inadecuate as a general purpose pattern for complex blocks and pluggable providers. At
ClariuS it's not our style to just complain, so we got
one of our brightest brains to work on
Enterprise Library and do something about it.
The result is amazing: both simple yet incredible powerful and flexible. I would bet you will see his code in VS Orcas! Don't miss his first
post explaining what it's all about.
