Do you ever get so close to a problem that when you finally see the solution, you kick yourself for not noticing it sooner? Well, that happened to me today. And boy do I feel silly...
After mulling over my last blog entry, I suddenly came to a surprisingly obvious solution. If configuration files were going to present a problem and keep EasyObjects off the .NET 2.0 platform, why not get rid of them?
Not permanently, mind you. But for the purposes of moving forward and getting it in the hands of developers sooner rather than later, why not just bypass the whole configuration mess?
So that's what I did. And guess what? It works surprisingly well. Oh, there were other issues to be tackled, such as transaction handling, but nothing nearly as messy as configuration. As a result, NCI is proud to announce the availability of a very early Community Technology Preview version.
This CTP has the following limitations:
- C# only, no VB at this time
- SQL Server only
- No dynamic connection strings
- No integration with the EntLib Config tool
Other than the above items, have at it! As always, your feedback is important and welcome.
