ASP.NET : Databases & ADO.NET

If you know the VB.NET basics, this book teaches everything else you need for developing and deploying database applications with Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET, the new data access method for the .NET platform. That includes Windows as well as web applications, and both two-tiered and three-tiered applications. Along the way, you’ll learn how to use typed and untyped datasets, bound and unbound controls, data views, parameterized queries, and more. You’ll also learn how to use XML for defining d

This guide is strikingly different from other books on Microsoft ADO.NET. Rather than load you down with theory, the new edition of ADO.NET 3.5 Cookbook gives you more than 200 coding solutions and best practices for real problems you're likely to face with this technology using Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET 3.5 platform. Organized to help you find the topic and specific recipe you need quickly and easily, this book is more than just a handy compilation of cut-and-paste C# code. ADO.NET 3.5 Co

Get the essential guide to the ADO.NET Entity Framework with expert insights direct from the Microsoft Entity Framework team. This practical reference covers the Entity Framework features with a focus on real-world scenarios and examples rather than exhaustive property-by-property coverage of the API. The Entity Framework allows developers to construct their application model and then map the application model to their database schema. Developers write queries using either Language Integrated Qu

Teach yourself the fundamentals of ADO.NET 2.0 one step at a time. With this practical, learn-by-doing tutorial, you get the guidance you need to start creating datacentric applications for Microsoft Windows and the Web. Discover how to: Work in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 development environment Use the ADO.NET 2.0 classes in either Visual Basic or Visual C# Connect to and manipulate different data sources: Microsoft SQL Server, XML, OLE DB Create ADO.NET objects at either design time

Dive in for reference where you need it and learn the intricacies of developing sleeker, more robust, security-enhanced applications in ADO.NET 2.0. Featuring code samples in Microsoft Visual C# and Visual Basic, this reference goes beyond the fundamentals to help professional developers solve sophisticated enterprise development problems. Discover how to: Examine advanced connectivity options and best practices including connection pooling, clustered connections, and asynchronous access Use t

• For the first time, ADO.NET is adding two new, much-anticipated technologies: Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and object/relational mapping with the Entity Framework (EF)--and this book shows developers how to implement these revolutionary features
• One section of the book is devoted entirely to LINQ, the exciting set of .NET technologies that enables writing strongly typed SQL-style queries against a wide variety of data types
• Another part of the book focuses on

This title is ideal for any developer who seeks guidance on how to exploit the database functionality and advanced, integrated development environment in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. The book covers core Visual Basic database development topics, with details on using Visual Basic .Net with Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), ADO+, and Microsoft SQL Server.
