Microsoft Enterprise Library 2.0 and related stuff.
Functional Programming with C#/F#
After all this hype around C# 3.0 where we will get LINQ, lambda expressions and many other thing I thought that it would be useful to have a deeper look at functional programming languages like F#. At Microsoft quite many people are fond of the .cf { font-family: Courier New; font-size: 10pt; color: black; background: white; } .cl { margin: 0px; } .cb1 { color: blue; } .cb2 { color: teal; } .cb3 { color: maroon; } .cb4 { color: green; } Functional Programming style which did influence the design...

Store your App.Config inside SQL Server 2005
I did submit some time ago a little fix for the Enterprise Library SqlConfigurationSource **The links are working again** Sam Gentile did not give up until I resubmitted the sample code Code Gallyery **. but I did not yet have time to blog about it. Better late than never I want to shed some light (again) on configuration. To get your application settings from your local disk you can use the .NET ConfigurationManager class or the (Entlib) FileConfigurationSource to fetch the settings from another...

Assembly.LoadFrom demystified
Rules are meant to be bro.. ahem expanded. Especially if everybody tells you not to do so ;-). The Assembly Loader Rules are for example a very strict set of rules. One rule of the loader is that you cannot load assemblies from directories above the directory where the executable is located. This can cause some headaches if you want to share some assemblies across applications which are not installed inside the GAC. You can bypass this restriction by using Assembly.LoadFrom. A very good article about...

Enterprise Library for .NET 2.0 - Instrumentation
The new Enterprise Library for .NET 2.0 has disabled instrumentation by default. It is very reasonable to do this because in low trust scenarios you are not able to install Performance Counters, Windows Event Logs/Sources or update WMI schemas. The previous version had "configurable" instrumentation by some #ifdefs in the source code. To change instrumentation you had to recompile the whole library every time you wanted to target a different deployment and therefore trust scenario. This time the...
