The ECO team released a new beta version of ECO which will install into VS 2005, 2008 and RAD Studio 2007. Interestingly, there seem to be some nice new wizard features being developed right now. As you can see in the figure below, you can select the server-type you want to include into your project group/solution.

There are templates for a server that is run in a console window, a Windows Service, a WinForms Application and a server type called “Web Service”. It was announced in the field test newsgroup that the features have not been implemented yet completely, but it is really good to see that it will be much easier in the future to create custom ECO servers. (Think of an ECO server as an abstract data storage your application communicates with that bridges the connection to a database or any other data storage you want to use)
