In order to facilitate further simplification of the setup/upgrading of EntitySpaces in your DotNetNuke portal or plain ol' ASP.NET application we are please to announce that we will also release the EntitySpaces Control Panel.


This module/page will show you what EntitySpaces assemblies you have available and the versions of those assemblies. It will also allow you to upload assemblies when you are ready to update EntitySpaces. Lastly, and perhaps the coolest feature, is that this module will actually encrypt/decrypt the EntitySpaces connection info section of your web.config for you. We are just putting the finishing touches on the 1.4 drop and starting to package everything up for distribution, so you can expect to see this soon. We will have a DotNetNuke installable version, as well as an aspx page you can use in your ASP.NET projects. Winformers? Don't think we forgot to spread the love around, in the SqlDemo we have also added the encryption routines so that you can add this to your winform applications if you should so desire.

I hate to nitpick, but is it wise to decrypt your database connection info and then send the results out unencrypted over (most likely) port 80?

Well I had assumed that people would only use this in a secure environment, meaning a trustworthy network or over encryption, but since we do not want to risk it we will be removing the display portion before we release. Thanks Matt.
