Microsoft .NET 3.x new namespaces
It's been rumoured that there will be a new namespace included in the next release of .NET to be announced at TechEd this week.
The new namespace contains classes and methods which help with the transactional issues we run into on a day to day basis within our applications.
For example, it's a common issue whereby the code has parially completed before an exception is thrown, another scenario is whereby your user has made a mistake with their actions and they wish to return to a point in time through their process.
Whilst Windows Workflow and System.Transactions brought some of the above into .NET they've not really been brought together as they will be in .NET 3.x (or whatever version number the next version is).
Anyway, the System.Tardis namespace will have a whole range of cool features to allow you to move forwards and backwards in time (and space) to help your users achieve the tasks they wish to complete.
Watch out for it's announcement and the System.Tardis SDK (Space dimension kit) being released at TechEd this week.
Cheers,
Phil.
