ADO.NET is the data access model built into the .NET Framework. It replaces the old (and largely successful) ADO used in almost all Visual Basic and ASP applications built over the last few years. ADO.NET enables an application to communicate with any OLE database source (including Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft Access, and even text files). This book will present ADO.NET in a simple, easy -to-learn manner filled with many code examples and exercises. A reader with no previous knowledge of ADO.NET should be able to read this book and have a functional knowledge of new object model allowing them to retrieve and work with data from multiple data sources.
User Review:
I recommended this book to some programmers I was teaching .NET to. I liked that it contained questions and exercises, much like a text book, so they could do those on their own.
However, the sample code that we downloaded from the publisher's web site would not even compile most of the time! And most of the code samples are in ASP.NET, which they were not yet familiar with, and the into to ASP.NET and the instructions to getting IIS set up was incorrect and confusing.
As for subject matter, this book is a very superficial overview of ADO.NET, but I guess what do you expect in 24 hours.
The most redeeming quality was that it included exercises and questions at the back of each chapter which allowed me to not have to spend hours writing those myself so for that purpose I found it useful.
