Hi,

I was looking at a better way to handle DB actions in .NET in an Enterprise Development. I was trying to create a generic Data Access Layer that will be used by any application without re-writing the same steps of opening the connection object then the command object or a DataAdapter. In my search i came upon Application Data Objects thats been provided by Microsoft. All you need is to download the source code and compile it and then add reference to the assembly in the project you want to use it.

This has really generalised my effort. Alot other methods are available thats not present in the normal ADO.NET.
