I’ve started using the (relatively new) Microsoft Enterprise Library for data access.  It’s nice.  I like it.  I’m using it on my current projects and migrating some of my existing applications over to it.  Maybe this is me or maybe this is a deficiency in the documentation…I got it working on my dev workstation pretty…

Continuing my rant about NHibernate being a whole lot of stuff to learn, it’s also somewhat difficult to know how to actually do things the “right way”.  A big one for me was trying to figure out the best way to manage NHibernate sessions from an ASP.NET application.  If you were doing a Windows Forms application…
