| This is the book on ADO.NET. ADO.NET is the latest database technology from Microsoft and represents the most powerful way to manipulate a database to date. A Programmer's Guide to ADO.NET in C# begins by taking readers through an overview of C# and then delves into ADO.NET. Author Mahesh Chand provides details on each of the major data providers of the .NET platform, such as OleDb, Sql, and ODBC, which enable developers to read and write data to the targeted databases. This book also serves as a good reference for finding detailed methods and properties for these data provider classes.
Chand shows C# programmers how to work with XML classes, integrate XML into ADO.NET architecture, and use the power of XML to transfer, read, and store data. A Programmer's Guide to ADO.NET in C# provides developers with a veritable cornucopia of practical ideas about how to take advantage of VS .NET and ASP.NET, and how to tie data to the myriad of powerful Windows Forms and Web Forms controls, including the multifaceted DataGrid. Chand also discusses how ADO.NET can be combined with ASP.NET to develop ADO.NET-based Web applications and Web services.
In this book, programmers develop numerous "real-world" sample applications that they will find easy to adapt. Examples illustrate how to execute and develop stored procedures, views, and triggers; how to create database tables and update database schemas programmatically; and how to perform event handling in ADO.NET. Finally, programmers work through the development of a Web-based guest book application. |
