| ADO.NET in a Nutshell delivers everything .NET programmers will need to get a jump-start on ADO.NET technology or to sharpen their skills even further. Complete and concise source of ADO.NET information. ADO.NET is the suite of data access technologies in the .NET Framework that developers use to build applications services accessing relational data and XML. Connecting to databases is a fundamental part of most applications, whether they are web, Windows, distributed, client/server, XML Web Services, or something entirely different. But ADO.NET is substantially different from MS's previous data access technologies - including the previous version of ADO - so even experienced developers need to understand the basics of the new disconnected model before they start programming with it. Current with the .NET Framework 1.1, this book offers one place to look when you need help with anything related to this technology, including a reference to the ADO.NET namespaces and object model. In addition to being a reference, this book provides a foundation for programming with ADO.NET and covers issues that programmers face when developing web applications or Web Services that rely on database access. Using C#, this book presents real world, practical examples that will help you put ADO.NET to work. Topics covered in the book include: An Introduction to ADO.NET; Connections, Commands and DataReaders; Disconnected Data; Advanced DataSets; Transactions; DataViews and Data Binding; XML and the DataSet. Included with the book is a Visual Studio .NET add-in that integrates the entire reference directly into your help files. | |
