Enterprise Library Extensions drop 3: Visual Studio 2K5 integration

After Colin released Avanade's "Integration Pack for Microsoft Enterprise Library" on his avablog, I cooked you guys a version of the Enterprise Library Extensions that works within this integration pack.

All of the features: Envrionmental Overrides, Configuration Protector and Configuration Constants writer are now available from within Visual Studio 2005.

As a small bonus in this release I also added another configuration node that manages the appSettings section of your configuration file (can be used from within Visual Studio or the Configuration console).


(Managing appSettings from within Visual Studio)


Please note: There could be some minor glitches when editing appSettings from within Visual Studio, the focus within the propertygrid is lost after editing a "Key" property.
Colin told me he'll look into this for his next release.

When opening a web.config file I get a blank page. App.config files open fine though

Bert, editing a web.config file works fine for me.

Could you contact me with repro-steps?
Anyone else having this problem?

thanks

# Running application over the network

Thursday, March 30, 2006 5:31 PM by JGT

I'm using the Configuration Protector to encrypt the connection string in app.config. The application is deployed to multiple clients over the network using ClickOnce. When I attempt to run the application on another machine, I get an "RSA key container could not be opened" exception. How do I use the encrypted connection string on multiple machines?

Bert,

There is a known defect in the integration pack where if you open a .config file using the XML editor, and then attempt to open it a second time using the integration pack, the second window is blank. The workaround for this defect is to close both windows and then open the .config file using the integration pack. This will be fixed in the next release.

If you continue having trouble, feel free to contact me at colinco@avanade.com, and I'll do my best to help.

It'd be great to have environmental overrides available for app settings!

We like the extensions, they are very helpful. However, we are having one issue with the Application Settings one. When you open the config with EL and save it, it adds a <clear /> to the <appSettings> block, and then the application does not inherit the app settings from the root web.config.

Wes & David L, thanks for the feedback. I will definately try to do something about both pionts.
