James,
The application blocks, from what I understand, were earlier
versions and have morphed into the enterprise library. For example, the data
application block is focused on SQLServer. The same features in the
Enterprise library are more agnostic such as datareaders return an
IDataReader which you could cast as a SqlDataReader. They are both very
similar in concept but the enterprise library uses better developed patters
such as factory patterns.
Hope this helps,

Hi Guys,
I have been reading practises and patterns on MSDN, there is one thing
that I am not sure about... There are enterprise library and
application blocks, does the latest enterprise library contains the
application blocks (eg. UIProcess, Data)??
It would be great that if anyone could explain a bit more.
Thanks very much.
James
