I assume most people are familiar with the Microsoft Application blocks for database, exception handling and authorization... my question is:

How did you incorporate these blocks into your companys applications? Was it a success or faliure in doing so? How many hours did you allocate in learning how to use them?

Is it worth the time it takes to use them, rather than write your own exception, dbgateway and authorization class?? The application blocks are very extensive... and tha tisn't always what you need


kind regards
Henrik
