This document introduces patterns and then presents them in a repository, or catalog, organized to help you locate the right combination of patterns that solve your problem. This is the same repository that contains the twenty-seven Enterprise Solution Patterns using Microsoft .NET for developers, which were first presented in April 2003. All the Microsoft patterns follow the same Pattern Frame, shown in Figure 1. This frame is used throughout this documentation to delineate the problem space and show the relationships between patterns.
