daab

DAAB stands for Data Access Application Block, a Microsoft technology that is reusable and extensible source code-based guidance that simplifies development of common data access functionality in Microsoft .NET applications. Applications can use the application block in a variety of situations, such as reading data for display, obtaining data to pass through application layers, and submitting changed data back to the database system. The application block includes support for both stored procedures and in-line SQL, and common housekeeping tasks such as managing connections and creating and caching parameters are encapsulated in the application block's methods. DAAB supports the languages C# and Visual Basic .NET. Previous versions of the DAAB were stand-alone application blocks; the new DAAB is a part of the new Enterprise Library collection of application blocks
