ADO. Net Programming

ADO .NET Programming provides a sophisticated reference to ADO .NET solution development. Aimed at database programmers with a working knowledge of the .NET Framework, this book dissects the ADO .NET component model and provides real-world examples demonstrating how ADO .NET can be used to manipulate data from different sources.

• Discover the differences between ADO and ADO .NET.
• Learn how to interact with databases using the Connection, Command, DataReader, and DataAdapter components and how to manipulate data with the DataSet component.
• Understand how XML is integrated with ADO .NET and learn the best ways to use that technology in your programs.
• Learn the subtle aspects of migrating ADO applications to ADO .NET.
• Develop and manipulate a data warehouse with ADO .NET and develop your own .NET data provider.

The appendixes include references to the new object-oriented paradigm of VB .NET, database normalization, views, stored procedure and trigger programming, and techniques for adding SQL functionality.
