When do you expect the 4.0 RTM to be available?

We are looking towards the beginning of September for the RTM. It will include support for the Entity Framework and NHibernate.

Quick and probubly stupid question...

Generated code has a using directive too:

Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling

I've loaded Enterprise Library 4.1 (October) but I do not see a dll that I can add for this reference.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Ed L

The dll can be found in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library 4.1 - October 2008\Bin folder if you have installed the Enterprise Libary.
Alternatively, you can find it under the install folder of Code Complete, C:\Program Files\Eurowise\Code Complete 4.0\Microsoft Enterprise Library.
