EasyObjects 2.0

Now that the 1.1 release is out, work has begun in earnest on a version of EasyObjects that works on .NET 2.0 and the January 2006 release of the Enterprise Library.

As I have posted in several places, I know you guys are anxious to have it. Believe me, I'm just as anxious. Unfortunately, these things just take time (and more energy than you may realize). If it was just a matter of tweaking a few things in the templates to get it to work, we'd all have something new to play with and I would be breathing a sigh of relief.

But the fact is, a key component of EasyObjects is the DynamicQuery class, and that class is very dependent on settings stored in configuration. Well, guess what the biggest change was in 2.0? Yep, the configuration settings. And not minor changes, either. We're talking a complete overhaul and refactoring process.

That's not something you can absorb in a couple of hours, or even a weekend. I'm still not clear on how it will all fit together, I'm looking at creating my own configuration settings class based on the Enterprise Library's model. It's all new and still a bit jumbled for me...

I have a version of 2.0 that works without the DynamicQuery class, but that's not very useful. So patience, my friends, the new platform is under way.

It's just progressing at a difficult pace for all of us...  :)
