Editorial Review:
Book DescriptionADO.NET is Microsoft's latest data access technology and, as an integral part of the .NET Framework, is far more than simply an upgrade of previous incarnations of ADO. ADO.NET provides an extensive set of .NET classes that facilitate efficient access to data from a large variety of sources, enable sophisticated manipulation and sorting of data, and forms an important framework within which to implement inter-application communication and XML Web Services.
This book provides a concise introduction to the concepts, techniques, and libraries that you will need in order to start using ADO.NET in your applications. This book covers how to access data using datareaders and data adaptors, as well as how to fill and manipulate datasets and typed datasets. It also looks at the close relationship between XML and ADO.NET, where ADO.NET should and shouldn't be used within enterprise applications, and how ADO.NET and XML Web services can be used to efficiently transfer data between distributed applications.

This example uses a form with several menu items and buttons. Instead of descriptive names that'll let you understand ... Read More
Rating: - I Love The Fast Track Series
I bought Fast Track ASP.NET and it was exactly what I needed, a fast way to bring me up to speed on useful ASP.NET. No fluff, just straight to the point. Not to mention a good price. When I wanted to update myself on ADO.NET I just went straight to the bookstore, grabbed Fast Track ADO.NET, paid for it, and walked out, no hesitation. I finished reading Fast Track ADO.NET and will continue to consider the Fast Track series for future topics.
If you have been programming for a while and are getting ... Read More
