Next release of Design Pattern Framework - 4.0 for VS 2010

Hi,
When can we expect the next release of the pattern framework? I would like to see the following things in the package:

Silverlight UI
ASP.NET MVC
Repository Pattern
Dependency Injection
Entity Framework
Azure (would be great to see it in action)
Integration with Social networking APIs

Regards
Sanjay Singh

Hi Dan

Thanks for quick response. In today's environment there are application that need to integrate with different sites such as netflix, facebook, twitter, etc to provide better user experience and create new scenarios. MS has come up with OData protocol which is becoming standard across many sites. I would like to see what patterns need to be followed to build such app which can show the power of integration with multiple sites.

Another item I wanted to add into the list was 'Windows Phone 7' UI.

Looking forward for the next release.

Regards
Sanjay Singh

Thanks Sanjay for your question and requested features.

We don't have an ETA at this time, but we're working hard on the VS 2010 / .NET 4.0 release.
I can confirm that the first 4 items are going to be included in this next release.

We'd like to get the VS 2010/.NET 4.0 release out as soon as possible.
Therefore, there is good chance that Azure will be included in a follow-up point release.

As far as Social networking API's, can I ask you what you're exactly looking for?

Again thanks for your feedback.
