There are a whole bunch of changes in the just released Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 Beta 1 and in Microsoft Unity 2.0 Beta 1. I have been using these libraries for years and have greatly been looking forward to this new release. The list of changes for Enterprise Library is very long indeed and going into specific changes here on this page seems redundant when you can go check it out for your self. Regarding Unity it seems it is not required any more to reference the ObjectBuilder assembly when using Unity; any functionality previously required from this...

Being a C#:er the one and only refactoring tool for me is ReSharper by JetBrains. In fact I would go so far as to disclose that I held off on upgrading to Visual Studio 2010 because the early builds of this great refactoring tool were not very useful and didn’t really help me. With the 5.0 (Beta) version for VS 2010 the world has become much more stable and my brand new machine has only VS 2010 installed. No old and moldy VS 2008 for me!

UPDATE: So as not to mislead; If you are using Visual Studio 2010 only on your system the Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 RC which is not yet released. But with Visual Studio 2008 you are safe. The biggest news in there is that you can...

Guess this post is a bit of a commercial spot. Excuse me, but this is also a good way to inform my readers that I am now working under a different brand than I have until now. I used to work for a brand called Dotway. There I had my email, there I had my home. Most of you know me as Magnus from Dotway. This has now changed. My email will be @jayway.com instead of @dotway.se. Dotway was just one brand in our group of small specialized companies. We also had a Leadway, Testway, Realway and a Jayway....
