We want to start a new project in Dot Net Core. We have a team which is good experienced in Enterprise Librbary(Data Access, Logging, Exception Handling) but they are new to Dot Net Core. We just want your suggestions on what should we use for Data Access i.e. Enterprise Library or Entity Framework as team is very much familiar with Stored Procedures.

Thanks

Hemant,
Microsoft is not directly involved in maintaining Enterprise library is on DOT.NET Core, there are cases where some of the functionality is not yet provided in .NET Core (.NET Standard). Chances of facing roadblocks are many.

As far as Data Access is concerned I would recommend Entity Framework Core or Dapper (Mini ORM).

Both of them work with SPs very well, DotNet Core is expanding quite well, its better to move to EF Core or Dapper or just plain ADO.NET (Net Standard) instead of Enterprise library where Microsoft not involved directly.

Hello Hemant

Enterprise library is a combination of reusable classes that will perform the .Net to SQL operation in a faster manner. Enterprise library relay on ADO.Net mostly.EF is build on the top of ADO.Net.EF will give some more advantage over ADO.Net
