ADO.NET: A Developer's Introduction

Overview ADO.NET is the prime way to access data in Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework. ADO.NET is the successor of ADO and it similar, yet different in many ways. This paper finds ADO.NET to be a more powerful environment. At the same time however, many basic techniques and features are less sophisticated than they used to be. ADO.NET basically is a set of objects that handle connectivity to a database, as well as a set of object that basically wrap returned data which is stored internally as XML (while inside of ADO.NET). ADO.NET is very command-oriented. This paper provides a general overview of ADO.Net's features and how to use ADO.NET for general data access.
