Data Access Application Block 3.1

It’s finally available at GotDotNet.  This took much longer than I expected, and all I can think about right now are the things that still aren’t implemented in it.  J  Someday I’d like to add a couple more helpers, such as DB2, and Sybase.  The documentation still needs work, although it’s much improved.

A few months ago when I started working on this, there were about 250 unit tests in the 3.0 release.  There are now over 350.  40% increase in test cases while going from a .0 to a .1 release.  Not too shabby.  Funny thing is that I know there are still things that aren’t tested as well as they should be and I’m sure people will find new bugs in this release.  Probably as soon as today.

But I’m too tired to fix them right now, so it’ll have to wait for a bit… J
