Welcome to the Enterprise Library Contrib Project!

EntLib Contrib is a community-developed library of extensions to the patterns & practices Enterprise Library.

In short, if you wrote it, why not share it with the world so that they can benefit from all your hard work? With your help EntLib Contrib will evolve to include a wide range of additional providers, extensions, tools and even application blocks that can be used with Enterprise Library.

Note: Extensions in the core EntLib Contrib project should work against official builds of Enterprise Library, and should not require any modifications to the core Enterprise Library code. Contributions that involve modifications to Enterprise Library code will be considered, but any such contributions will be made available as separate releases on this site.
