Ever since the Honeymoon period of PoCs and tryouts is over and Azure started to mainstream and more precisely started to go “Enterprise”, Azure developers have been demanding EntLib for Azure.
The demands seems to have finally been heard and the powers that be have bestowed us with the current beta release EntLib 5.0 which supports Windows Azure.
The application blocks tailored for Azure are:
- Data Access Application Block (Think SQL Azure)
- Exception Handling Application Block (Windows Azure Diagnostics)
- Logging Application Block (Windows Azure Diagnostics)
- Validation Application Block
- Unity Dependency Injection Mechanism
The EntLib 5.0 beta is now available for download.
