Rating: - Not to be confused with Rebecca's Riordan's
This is the best ADO.NET out there. Do not confuse this with Rebecca's (that would be a tragedy).
This has in-depth coverage and has helped me so much, I can't thank David Sceppa enough. I look forward to his 2005 coverage and I hope it is as good as this.
Rating: - Not for the ADO novice but for those with a little hands on.
For approx. 1 year, I had been utilizing ADO.NET in a limited way. It confused me the switch from ADO to ADO.NET and I wasn't that strong on ADO to begin with, so I dug my feet in about learning the rest. Then one faithful day I hit a wall in my abilities with ADO.NET. The trusty READER wasn't going to bail me out and only VIEWING data in a DATAGRID wasn't going to cover my hiney either. They wanted to modify the data. They wanted to delete data. They wanted POWER....

Rating: - Excellent Work
Unlike other tomes I have used, you walk away understanding the underlying principles after using this book. It was proofread and the code samples actually work. Having the "book online" feature allows you to cut and paste the code into Visual Studio and run the snippets for better understanding of the concepts. This book is the first that I have encountered that is assembled in a logical order as well. You will be ready to do professional ADO.NET after going through this book if you understand either C# ...

Rating: - Very complete. C# & VB.net code included with samples
The book will definitely show the ins/outs of getting connected to databases. The samples in the book show you how to use the drag-n-drop objects as well as using only code to manage your database applications. Samples in book were very realistic and give you a complete view of what goes on with database applications. Each sample gives you code for both VB.Net and C# which is nice since I am also interested in learning C#. You pretty much get the code for both languages for the price of one book. If you are ...

Rating: - Easy Reading
After reading many tutorials and books on ADO.NET, I must say that this was the best one so far.
Not only does it explain everything there is to know about ADO.NET, it does so in an entertaining and well presented manner.
The code samples are in both VB.NET and C#, and above all, they are complete, or at least complete enough to understand without having to refer to the code samples on the CD.
I was able to read and grasp the concepts explained in this book in less than a week.
