Data Application Block from the Enterprise Library

by Erik Lane 8. March 2005 02:45

I've been using DAAB v2 in all of my apps that use SQL 2000.  Looks like I may give the new EntLib a look-see after Joel (he goes by his first name) pointed out Scott's article from 4Guys.  Unless I've need to use MS Access, I've yet to create ADO.NET classes by hand but now this new version gives you the flexability to create your own provider class for different database types.

"If you find yourself still accessing data by creating the ADO.NET classes by hand, consider checking out the Enterprise Library's DAAB. It's a tool I find indispensable. And if you are using an older version of the DAAB consider upgrading to the Enterprise Library. By moving toward the Enterprise Library you can also utilize the other application blocks to improve your application's functionality. " --Scott Mitchell
