Everything you need to learn and practice to access data in your .NET 2.0 applications. This course covers connected and disconnected modes of data access using the various ADO.NET 2.0 objects like DataReaders, DataSets, and DataTables, Data Binding in both Windows Forms or Web Forms, and handling XML data. The emphasis is on the Visual Studio 2005 and the ADO.NET 2.0 technologies and not on the specific programming language used (either Visual C# or Visual Basic) Although the course is taught via Visual C# 2005.

Programming with ADO.NET 2.0

Description

.
.
.

Microsoft designed the ADO.NET 2.0 technology, as part of its overall .NET 2.0 strategy, to provide a very powerful platform for accessing, retrieving, and manipulating data in either Windows Form Applications or Web Form Applications. To master development in this new data access environment, a programmer must be equipped with the necessary ADO.NET 2.0 knowledge and skills. This is what this course provides. It provides a thorough introduction to the ADO.NET 2.0 technology, how it works, and how to apply it in your applications using the VS 2005 IDE. The course is taught via Visual C# 2005.

The course describes in detail the ADO.NET Object Model and explains how the various ADO.NET objects work together to access data. Some of the topics covered include patterns of using the ADO.NET object model, the Connetion Object, the Command Object, the DataReader Object, the DataAdapter Object, the TableAdapter, and the DataSet Object.

The instructional strategy for this course emphasizes project-based learning, practical real-life problem solving skills, and getting started with ADO.NET 2.0 programming using VS 2005 as quickly as possible.
