Enterprise Library
Enterprise Library is a library of reusable application blocks designed to assist developers with common enterprise development challenges. It is a collection of application blocks that address areas of common concern across a variety of development projects. The library is designed to help developers handle the most common enterprise development needs in a simple and consistent way.
Enterprise Library provides a set of common application blocks for quickly and easily designing, building, and deploying enterprise-level applications.
Features:
• Data Access Application Block: This block provides a simple and efficient way to access the database. It includes features such as connection management, transaction management, stored procedure execution, and database commands.
• Logging Application Block: This block provides a simple and efficient way to log application events and errors. It includes features such as flexible log destinations, log levels, and log filtering.
• Security Application Block: This block provides a simple and efficient way to authenticate and authorize users. It includes features such as authentication and authorization providers, role management, and secure password storage.
• Exception Handling Application Block: This block provides a simple and efficient way to handle exceptions. It includes features such as exception logging, exception policy, and exception shielding.
