Default Data Access Application Blocks

Is there a some place that we can find instructions about configuring applications to use the Application Blocks from Enterprise Library? I have installed the latest (Jan 2006) Enterprise Library on my machine and I can't figure out how to use them. The QuickStarts run fine, so I must have installed the Library correctly, but I can't figure out how to link the blocks to my project. I have tried instructions from all over the web to figure it out. I was wondering whether anyone has found good, clear step-by-step instructions for putting these powerful blocks to use. The only instructions I seem to find are for older (June or Jan 2005) versions of the blocks, and I am confused enough already.

I followed a tutorial by Thiru Thangarathinam at www.devx.com article 30910 unfortunetly even then I had to search around to get the tutorials to work. Also from memory it is in C#.
Most important thing that I found was to use
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.Common
Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data
Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Sql

I had prior to using the Enterprise lib used Imports System.Data.sqlclient but this seems to conflict.
