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.
