Data Access Application Block for .NET v2

Are you involved in the design and development of data access code for .NET-based applications? Have you ever felt that you write the same data access code again and again? Have you wrapped data access code in helper functions that let you call a stored procedure in one line? If so, the Microsoft® Data Access Application Block for .NET is for you.

The Data Access Application Block encapsulates performance and resource management best practices for accessing Microsoft SQL Server™ databases. It can easily be used as a building block in your own .NET-based application. If you use it, you will reduce the amount of custom code you need to create, test, and maintain.
