Pro ADO.NET 2.0 [Paperback]

* Content and examples take practical focus as opposed to a theoretical, academic treatment.

* Heavily trimmed content eliminates information the reader wont find useful very often.

Pro ADO.NET 2.0 is a guide and reference for .NET developers who are looking to further their understanding of ADO.NET 2.0.

This book takes a new approach, focusing on the practical tasks like connecting to the database, retrieving data, and working with transactions, rather than rehashing much of the MSDN documentation. Pro ADO.NET 2.0 offers the deep and much-needed practical understanding, viewpoint, and knowledge developers are seeking.

This book explains what is available in ADO.NET by associating it with the need to solve a practical problem and better architect an application, rather than mugging up the hundreds of classes and properties available in the framework.

Pro ADO.NET 2.0 is a guide and reference to the .NET developer who is looking to further his understanding of ADO.NET 2.0. This book also presents information in a denser, more compact and more rapid way that appeals to the experienced developer. It is ideal as a technologists desk reference, and not meant to be read from cover to cover. Throughout the book, the reader will find consistent coverage and handling of performance analysis issues, real-world examples, and best practices.
