Layered Architecture Sample June Updates

Just wanted to quickly post a note before I go to bed. For the past weeks, I have been diligently updating my Layered Architecture Samples for .NET. It has been almost 3 years since I updated it. The last time I did it was just before I left Microsoft and over the years it has managed to get more than 19,000 downloads.

Few weeks ago, I decided to give it the long-overdue update it deserved to keep pace with the advancements of Visual Studio 2012 and the updated technologies. As part of the first phase of modernizing the samples, I have managed to release these three technology scenarios:

• ASP.NET MVC 4 calling a service back-end with WCF, WF and Entity Framework 5.0
• ASP.NET Web Forms Model Binding calling a service back-end with WCF, WF and Entity Framework 5.0
• ASP.NET Web Forms Model Binding calling a service back-end with WCF, WF and Enterprise Library 6.0

I have also shifted away from the Expense submission scenario to the Leave application scenario instead. All the samples are now simplified and streamlined to the technologies it uses.

I hope to be able to get the time to produce samples for ASP.NET WEB API, WPF and maybe, I can port some of them to my Windows Azure Cloud Sample as well. Stay tune for more updates!
