I use the Enterprise Library edit configuration tool in VS2005. How do i
make VS2008 b2 aware of the edit configuration tool?
Thanks,

Hello JC
From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you wonder how to launch
the Enterprise Library Visual Studio-Integrated Configuration Editor in
Visual Studio 2008 IDE. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.
Currently, there is no support for Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 in newsgroup,
therefore, what I can do is to provide some general suggestions for your
reference.
As you said, VS2008 does not load the configuration editor by default,
because the current Enterprise Library is only for Visual Studio 2005:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4C557C63-708F-4280-
8F0C-637481C31718&displaylang=en.
But you can add it into the VS IDE as an external tool. In the Enterprise
Library's setup directory, there is an application:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library 3.1 - May
2007\Bin\EntLibConfig.exe. Please refer to the following MSDN to see how to
add the .exe into Visual Studio Tools menu.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9814d200(VS.80).aspx
Besides, the blog: http://www.philipwolfe.com/post.aspx?id=26 also
describes how to launch EntLibConfig.exe from VS.NET. It tells you how to
set the configuration tool as the default editor of .config files.
