Answering my own question, a visit to the .NET Architecture home here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/
shows a new top link to an Enterprise Library dated January 31. So things
must be moving around and resulting in some broken links. The Data Access
block is apparently bundled with other blocks now as follows:
- Caching Application Block. This application block allows developers to
incorporate a local cache in their applications.
- Configuration Application Block. This application block allows
applications to read and write configuration information.
- Data Access Application Block. This application block allows developers to
incorporate standard database functionality in their applications.
- Cryptography Application Block. This application block allows developers
to include encryption and hashing functionality in their applications.
- Exception Handling Application Block. This application block allows
developers and policy makers to create a consistent strategy for processing
exceptions that occur throughout the architectural layers of enterprise
applications.
- Logging and Instrumentation Application Block. This application block
allows developers to incorporate standard logging and instrumentation
functionality in their applications.
- Security Application Block.
