I've used that application block and modified versions of it in a number of projects (large and small), it makes a great framework to build your data tier around in my opinion. Just don't treat it as an end all framework and expand it when needed.

I've used the SQL Helper class and newer DAAB/Enterprise Library in many projects before. I would suggest that you use the right tool for the right job. Alternatives include

  • NHibernate
  • LINQtoSQL
  • Entity Framework
  • Enterprise Library
  • My Generation (and various plug-in frameworks like Gentle)
  • ADO.NET... the list goes one
