If you're planning to write applications for Microsoft's .NET framework and want to work with Extensible Markup Language (XML) or otherwise provide access to databases within the .NET architecture, you need to understand ADO.NET. While ADO.NET Programmer's Reference isn't meant as a tutorial, it's far more than an object reference. True, you can use it to discover the members of the many ADO.NET classes, but that's not too valuable when your development environment provides that information. More useful is this book's extensive collection of commentary and examples. If you're interested in--to cite one example of the hundreds in this volume--the Fill method of the DataAdapter object, you'll find two pages of prose explanation on how Fill behaves in different situations (including potentially weird ones, like when column names conflict). Following those two explanatory pages, 10 pages of parameter documentation, code samples, and further commentary provide lots of details, increasing the likelihood that you'll find what you need.Helpfully, the authors have taken care to include code samples in both C# and VB.NET, though once in a while a snippet appears without adequate commentary in either code comments or nearby prose. A potentially bigger problem is that the authors worked from a late preliminary version of the ADO.NET, which introduces the possibility that not all of their advice will work under the gold version. Still, this book does good work as an aid to programmers under pressure to produce well-constructed ADO.NET applications. --David Wall Topics covered: The design and implementation of the ADO.NET environment, in the form of a class reference with lots of commentary and examples. Object representations of data, as well as of transactions, permissions, and queries, are all covered with respect to C# and VB.NET. Providers covered include OLE DB, ODBC, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
Book Description
ADO.NET is Microsoft's latest data access technology, and, as an integral component of the .NET framework, is far more than simply an upgrade of an existing technology. ADO.NET is a large set of .NET classes that enable us to interact with data sources, manipulate data, and communicate with other applications and Web Services in entirely new ways. This book provides a wealth of information about the ADO.NET. We describe the features and how to use them, as well as providing advice and...  read more
