Some Love for the Smart Client Offline App. Block
Richard Childress has posted on his experiences with the Smart Client Offline Application Block as valuable for not only solving his domain-specific problem, but also in getting .NET to be used at all:
“Working in IT, where we try to only write code that helps run our business, it’s a Great Thing when you don’t have to write plumbing code. Writing a class here and another class there, while leveraging a big chunk of code that we didn’t write to solve a problem, is golden. This block, itself, is actually helping drive the case for starting to incorporate the framework into our app(s). The value is unquestionable.”
