I hate the way questions get shutdown and closed on SO as 'opinion based'. It's fairly obvious to anyone with half a brain that the poster is after opinions, and personal stories from people who have used one or both approaches. They have even provided some suggested ways of comparing them - all of which are valid IMO. You wouldn't use both on a project, so why might you choose one over the other? I suspect the accepted answer doesn't help at all, at it simply says they are different, and for that reason can't be compared. — controlbox, Feb 01 '18 at 15:56

From http://forums.asp.net/t/1647988.aspx:

DAAB is the Data Access Block provided by Ent. Lib.

They are completely different animals. The DAAB is a data access library (wrappers around ADO.NET), whereas the Entity Framework is an Object Relatonal Mapper. They don't do the same thing. If you want to use a data access library, Microsoft would recomend the Entity Framework. If you want to use an ORM. they would recomment EF.
