Using the Microsoft Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block (DAAB) in Your Application

Download DAAB pdf

Microsoft Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block (DAAB) is an assembly that encapsulates the logic used to perform common enterprise-level data access tasks.

Using the DAAB eliminates the need to keep writing the same data access tasks for each new or revised application, so you can spend your time more productively.

The DAAB solves the problem of having to repeatedly write code for common data access tasks, and adapts the application code to be interoperable across different data sources.

This article explains why using DataDirect ADO.NET data providers with DAAB makes this technology even better and includes the information and sample code you need to install and configure DAAB to work with DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET and your application, including SSL and Kerberos authentication enterprise security features.
