Speaking in Tampa on October 18th – Repository Factory, Enterprise Library, Guidance Bundles
David Hayden ( Microsoft MVP C# ) is giving a presenting to the Tampa .NET Developer Group on Thursday, October 18th at 6:30pm at the Microsoft Tampa Office.
The focus is on the new Repository Factory, which is a software factory from Microsoft Patterns & Practices that will generate a data access layer for your winform and web applications in minutes. It generates business entities, stored procedures, and repository classes from an existing database within Visual Studio. In addition he will also be showing off the following:
- Validation Application Block to provide business object validation.
- Policy Injection Application Block to describe logging and caching mechanism using an Aspect-Oriented-Programming style.
- The Autocomplete Guidance Bundle and Validation Guidance Bundle.
- The ability to develop an Enterprise Library Plug-In to offer design-time support of the Repository Factory Configuration.
See you there! You can RSVP here.
I really enjoy David Hayden’s Presentations and this topic is of special interest to me.

Why would one use this over codesmith and all the other ORM tools?
What do you know about CSLA.NET? The guy who developed that is controversial to say the least: http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showID=172.
Some of his points seem factually wrong though…regarding unit testing and intellisense. I think that mockobjects invalidate his argument. On CSLA.NET, I’m interested in who has used it in practice … and why anyone would.
What he does with validation seems similar to what azman (or adam – I confuse the two) does.
