Names are required and can only be between 5 and 8 characters. Let's say I have an Account class and the name of the account has some rules around it. It's pretty slick and ends up being a nice cleanup of your domain from clutter (which is always a good thing). Last night I gave the validators a whirl to see how they worked. Something that would allow you to validate business entities with little effort. One of the main features they wanted to deliver (based on user feedback) was a validation engine. After all, opening Christmas presents isn't the only thing geeks do over the holidays. Don't use this for production apps, but if you've got something going into production in the next 6 months, its something to consider.

I've been watching and waiting for this (even bugging Tom to get a "sneak peek") but it's reality now and something you can play with. announced the release of the December CTP of Enterprise Libraries 3.0 (on CodePlex no less!).
