Noticed this over on [Alex Lowes'](http://weblogs.asp.net/alowe/posts/7699.aspx)blog,
link to the [building
blocks page](http://msdn.microsoft.com/practices/type/Blocks/default.asp). Some very useful resources - I can see these being used more and
more in the community. We already use the Exception Management and Data Access Blocks
in our large Portal project, they really are excellent - and come with source, so
you can modify them at will (if only they were open source!)
