Alternative to Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data


Does anyone know an alternative to Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data which has since been deprecated and now when I bring it in to VS2010 for the 1st time it wont even compile. Even if i keep the application an ASP.NET 2.0 Framework app, it still throws errors.

This is an old legacy application that I just inherited and I dont even quite know what the library is used for but its causing my app to critically fail.


Solution

  • Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data is not a default system namespace, that's why it is failing, you should download the correct version of the MS EnterpriseLibrary package containing that assembly and reference it from Visual Studio, deprecated or Obsolete ok but if you still have it and reference it, it should still work.
