    Do you use them?[^] Do you need to modify them? Most of us probably have our own "application blocks" whether we realize it or not. How do you feel the Microsoft AB's fit with your own blocks? Marc My website Traceract Understanding Simple Data Binding Diary Of A CEO - Preface

      I've used the AppUpdater application block found here[^]. As I understand is a smaller edition of the Updater Application Block. Also I've been thinking about using the Data Access AB (I downloaded it already, but haven't put it into production yet.) since it looks really good! But that's about it. -- LuisR

        Just started using the June 2005 Enterprise Library and im suitably impressed. Im using Data and Exception mainly, and found them very easy to use.

          I've usually implement my own blocks. But as far as error management is concerned, I've created a wrapper for ExceptionManagement block. I created the wrapper so in future if there is a need to swap the blocks, I dont have to change my primary code. But that said, the infomration produced by the ExceptionMgmt block is really helpful and is to-the-point for pintpointing errors in live systems. - Malhar

            I've used the Data Access Application Block. Worked very well. Made coding the Data Access Routines considerably easier. I like Malhalrones's suggestion though of applying a thin wrapper to the blocks in case the block changes in the future. David

              I have used the Data Access application block in production code, used 1.0 and 2.0, have not as yet used the June 2005 edition. I think they are a great timesaver. As for the other application block, have downloaded and played with them.

                we've used the data and exception management blocks for quite some time now. they're great as a base to start with but are much more useful once extended. especially the exception piece. we have several custom exception publishers besides the default (event log) that we've created (email, xml file, web service, winforms, defect tracking system etc.) we also extended the data block to fit our specific needs more. i'd recommend them to anyone.

                  In my previous job we used the older DAAB, which was a great helper-wrapper. Now, I use Enterprise Library June 2005 for the Security / Roles modules. We use it for an internal windows application, and it's helped expand the functionality without writing in our own really big security model. Also, we continue to use the Application Updater block, but not the new one.

                  I only have one tiny modification, in that the Roles can get a Description.
