| Get in-depth coverage and expert insights on advanced ADO.NET programming topics such as optimization, DataView, and large objects (BLOBs and CLOBs). Targeting experienced, professional software developers who design and develop enterprise applications, this book assumes that the reader knows and understands the basic functionality and concepts of ADO.NET 2.0 and that he or she is ready to move to mastering data-manipulation skills in Microsoft WindowsЮ. The book is structured so readers can jump in for reference on each topic as needed, complete with pragmatic and instructive code examples.
Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0 represents a major improvement in data access capabilities. You'll see little resemblance between the object model in the original release of ADO included in Microsoft Visual Studio 6 and the improved object model in the new release included in Visual Studio 2005. ADO.NET 2.0 contains many changes that simplify development by requiring less code, and it has new capabilities that enable you to write more database-agnostic code, which means you will have a much easier time writing code without knowledge of the database server that will be used.
This book dives deep into advanced implementations of the new and old ADO.NET features that make up the current release. Complex problems rarely have a single solution, so I offer a comparative analysis whenever possible to highlight the benefits and drawbacks of several possible solutions. |
