Is there any experience or guidance around employing StrataFrame in conjunction with the guidance and application blocks coming from Microsoft's Patterns and Practices group?

In particular the UIP and CAB.

We are always looking to what is coming out from Microsoft.  But as always, are careful to make implicit additions to the framework until we see where Microsoft will land.  An example of this is LINQ and Object Spaces.  There was a lot of buzz and momentum on Object Spaces...right up to the day that they de-commited   So we are waiting to see what happens with LINQ because it looks like it could go the same direction at the moment.

We are very sensitive to the developer market place and to the needs of our users.  So when we see a viable technology that needs to be added, we generally do just that.

With that being said, StrataFrame can be used in conjunction as we speak, however, much of the work will be your responsibility since we have not yet made implicit implementations into the framework to support this directly.

Hope this helps.
