Rating:  - Great Book
Great book.
Efficient and clear writing from start to finish.
Well structured.
Covers important but easily overlooked issues not found in other books.
I wish he'd write an ASP.NET book.
Rating: - A complete ADO.NET for C# and VB
This is one of the best ADO.NET books. The author uses both VB and C# examples. The CD contains both languages and Visual Studio projects.
The author does not favoritize a database. You can use any DB you want.
If you have programmed before and want a complete reference and alot of examples. This is the book for you.

The book could be the best MS press book i ever got. Of course you can find all the documentations about ADO.NET related classes from msdn, but this book presents the technology in a clear and logical way. Very easy to follow. It covers almost all topics about ADO.NET in reasonable details, coupled with plenty of snippets to practice. First time i read the table of contents of the book i thought it is just another scrach-surface introductory book from MS, turn out to be the author knows the topic well and present it in depth and nicely.
I think this book is a must have if you are doing or plan to do .NET development. Afterall how can you develop an application without thinking about database access nowdays. I donot think this book is for beginners, better have some ADO experience to appreciate this book.

If you do any real database access, you need this book. I bought Balena and Connell's book (I totally recommend both of them, incidentally, along with Les Smith's Add-Ins book), but this is at a different level. They have to address a broad audience. He addresses the Database developer. His stuff is clear, accurate (every app and code snippet works, I can't say that about everyone) and he can explain to every audience without being boring or too abstract.
I wasted almost two weeks building an app, that once I got his book was finished in under an hour.
David made me look really smart!
