Last month I explored the foundation of the Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block (DAAB) including how it all fits into an architecture (see Data Points: The Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block, Part 1). I also discussed the Configuration Tool, how to use the cryptography and configuration features with the DAAB, and how the DAAB offers database abstraction through its database factory pattern and through reflection. This month, I will continue the exploration by walking through several code examples that demonstrate the different ways data can be retrieved using the DAAB.
