Ping!
I've been (and still am) busy preparing the downloads site for my new book ".NET Enterprise Services" (Hanser Verlag), which is going to hit shelves in Germany on Monday. "Preparing the download site" is indeed somewhat of an understatement, because I am consolidating all the Enterprise Services infrastructure components from the book and other work (including stuff that I previously posted here) into an SDK, which is fully integrated into Visual Studio .NET with dynamic help, samples and all that.
The SDK has a managed interface for the COM+ catalog, an installer class for Enterprise Services applications, the "ServicedComponentEx" for hosting serviced component in non-default application domains, a wrapper for transactions based on "services without components" which works on XP and the 1.0 framework and, as an experimental component, an implementation of a "long running transaction manager" (LRTM), which provides support for "try/confirm/cancel" and "execute/compensate" compensation protocols.
If all goes well, a first beta drop should be available somewhere on the newtelligence website early next week, hopefully late Monday. For now, the SDK drop is "binary only". However, all book samples (which are identical with the SDK components; the SDK is a superset) will of course be available as a separate download in source-code form and with a license as liberal as the source-code license of our newtelligence Web Service Extensions.
Oh, and, the SDK and all source code documentation is in English - unlike the book.
