Avanade Integration Pack for Microsoft Enterprise Library & more...

If you are like me (and who isn't?) then you want everything in one place. You don't want to have to use 30 different tools that generally performs the same set of functions (MS is notorious for doing this). So when I heard about getting the Enterprise Library console tool integrated with VS2005 I was excited. Here it is to download. I've only been playing around with it for a week or so and I like it alot. I also wanted to let you know that my buddy Hisham Baz recently finished his update for the Rolling File Trace listener for Enterprise Library 2.0, get that here. Enjoy.

This type of thing is the exact reason I joined Avanade. I couldn't have said it better myself. Great people, great resources and kick ass methodologies for getting things done. Great place to work.
