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.
