"This is my favorite book on ADO.NET. The author clearly has an extensive understanding of the subject matter. It is useful not only for expert data access programmers but also for weekend code warriors."
—Glenn Thimmes, Senior Software Engineer, New Dawn Technologies.Formerly Develop Support Engineer (WebData), Microsoft Corporation

Pragmatic ADO.NET is a practical guide to using the first data access services designed specifically for Web-based applications. This tutorial provides developers with a clear introduction to ADO.NET, and gives practical solutions for using it effectively.

The book begins with a concise history of Microsoft's Universal Data Access strategy and the evolution of technology that has led us to ADO.NET. The core of the book demonstrates how to use ADO.NET to interact with databases and the rest of the .NET framework. In addition, readers learn by example the best practices for using ADO.NET to build scalable, high-performance systems. Pragmatic ADO.NET includes numerous code examples in C#, and a companion Web site located at www.adoguy.com/book features implementations in Visual Basic .NET and C#, along with updates on the technology. The book concludes with an appendix detailing strategies for migrating from ADO to ADO.NET.

Readers will learn how to:

Work with data in a disconnected way
Connect to databases through ADO.NET
Use Command objects
Use the DataReader
Construct DataSets
Create and use Typed DataSets
Manipulate data with DataSets
Update databases from DataSets
Integrate with XML
Use data binding
Optimize performance and scalability

The combination of concise coverage, helpful explanations, and detailed examples makes Pragmatic ADO.NET an important guide for all developers looking to gain a working knowledge of ADO.NET.
