Microsoft Application Data Block: Why??

[Mark]

Hi all, what are the benefits of using the Data block and is it going to be
used in 2.0??

Also, is there any documentation for it?? I have had a look at the source
code for the projects but would prefer a nice "Readme"

Thanks
Mark

Well,

the benefits of the blocks is that you have loads of resuable code that
you don't have to write yourself.

For example the Data Access Application Block gives you just about most
of the database operations you want to do with ado.net, already written
tested and ready for reuse.

MSDN is clogged with documentation around the enterprise library.

Most of the samples I have seen compares to hand-written code.

I would think if you auto-generate what you can auto-generate it would
not add much, esp. in 2.0?
