  You dont need the EnterpriseLibrary(DataAccessBlock) to fetch or set data to sql when you use EntityFramework

  just use objectcontext to fill entity or save them

  see http://www.mikeborozdin.com/post/Creating-Entity-Framework-Driven-ASPNET-Application.aspx

  Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.

  Entity Framework and Enterprise Library are two different things. And both of them can act as a database accessor. So you choose either one (but not both).

  You can read following articles to understand how you would use EF and ASP.NET controls:
