Hi,
I have two important questions regarding enterprise tempaltes:
1. will visual studio 2005 contain this feature (it does not in vs 2005 beta
1)
2. is it possible to restrict access to code with enterprise templates
meaning - can
i prohibit the editing of a code pane opened by, let's say, double
clicking a button
in the form designer. if not - how can I do it.

Thanks

Hi Renil,

>1. will visual studio 2005 contain this feature (it does not in vs 2005

beta 1)

yes, the Visual Studio.NET 2005 enterprise version will still contain
enterprise templates. For the reason that you do not find it in VS.NET 2005
beta 1, it is just a beta build for publicly test, not a enterprise
development release version.

>2. is it possible to restrict access to code with enterprise
>templates meaning - can i prohibit the editing of a code pane

AFAIK, it cound not be done with the enterprise templates, maybe you can
try to make a VS.NET Add-in to perform such task, but it would be tough and
the user can remove that Add-in from the VS.NET IDE:(

Thanks for your understanding!

Renil -

Let me furthre clarify Gary's reply. Visual Studio 2005 Beta2 definitely
has the functionality that shipped in VS2002 and VS2003 that was referred to
as "Enterprise Templates". Enterprise Templates was the name given to the
combination of the standard VS template mechanisms, the special .ETP project
type used to group projects, and the design-time policy capabilities defined
through the use of .TDL.

In VS2005, you won't see many references to "Enterprise Templates". Instead
you'll see "VS Policy" and "VS Templates", which are the standard names for
the key technologies that comprised the old "enterprise templates". VS Policy
has a simplified schema, making it easier to author and understand policy
files and allowing reuse of "definitions". VS Templates have been enhanced to
provide a better user experience. The old ".etp" projects have been removed
in favor of the new, standard "Solution Folders" that provide the same type
of grouping mechanism without some of the... eccentricities that .ETP
projects had.

The other bit of good news is that VS Templates & VS Policy are available in
the Pro version of VS2005 so you no longer need to get the Architect box to
be able to consume policied projects.

Gary was spot-on with the answer to the second question. The existing
mechanisms in VS2005 don't allow us to provide the capability to lock down
the code editor.
