Minimum configuration for data access block v5

If you’re using the Data Access Block from Microsoft’s Enterprise Library (v5, e.g. 5.0.414.0), here is the minimum configuration you’ll need to be able to do data access:

<configuration>

<configSections>

<sectionname=“dataConfiguration“type=“Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35“requirePermission=“true“ />

</configSections>

<dataConfigurationdefaultDatabase=“myDbConn“>

</dataConfiguration>

<connectionStrings>

<addname=“myDbConn“connectionString=“data source=(local);Integrated Security= SSPI;Initial Catalog=myDatabase;“providerName=“System.Data.SqlClient“/>

</connectionStrings>

</configuration>

Without this you’re liable to get the error: “The type Database cannot be constructed. You must configure the container to supply this value.”
