Ado.Net

by Craig Utley and Mark Scott

Published 30 June 2002
A high-end comprehensive developer's guide that provides information to effectively use and create scalable, enterprise-wide applications with ADO.NET.-- The changes between ADO and ADO.NET are clearly detailed with screen dumps, tips, tips, and cautions.-- The authors have worked with ADO from its inception and have interacted directly with the Microsoft ADO.NET development team to build this comprehensive ADO.NET book.-- Extensive code samples, examples and comparison charts are included that have been reviewed and modified by the Microsoft Development teams.This book covers ADO.NET, the new database technology underlying Microsoft's .NET strategy, perhaps their largest technology strategy ever. ADO.NET looks at the ADO.NET objects and how they compare to ADO, which is currently used by several million developers, according to Microsoft. Craig focuses on how to effectively use the new objects, but just as important, he focuses on the new design paradigm required to use a disconnected data access technology. This will require changes in how applications are designed and constructed. This book teaches the reader more than new objects; it will also ensure that then readers' applications are designed to be scalable and robust.
