Enterprise Library 3.0 Experience (1): Integrated VS2005 Configuration Tool and configuration area encryption support

A Configuration tools integrated into VS2005

In the two versions prior to Enterprise Library 3.0, the configuration tools were used as a separate application and I introduced a plugin that integrates Enterprise library configuration tools into vs (Enterprise Library 2.0 Plugin Description: Avanade integration Pack). The release of Enterprise Library 3.0 directly integrates the configuration tools into the vs.net, making it easy to configure the application block. After installation, the default way to open the configuration file is Enterprise Library Configuration Editor (Figure 1).

Is it more convenient than opening a single configuration tool?
