We will also use the StateValue<T> Class to abstract out the fact that we store our Shopping Cart for our green tea store in Session State. Evolution of the WCSF to use the Unity Dependency Injection Container in Enterprise Library 4.0 would be a natural progression when Enterprise Library 4.0 is released.
