Book Description

Publication Date: October 4, 2002 | Series: .Net Developer

Take your pick: you may either read this book cover-to-cover, or just refer to it when you want ready-made solutions of "drop-in" code. Either way, Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition will teach you to master ADO.NET programmatically and from within the Visual Studio .NET IDE.

You will learn the concepts of disconnected data access with ADO.NET. You'll also learn to create tables, constraints, projects, stored procedures, views, and triggers. The book will explain how to use SQLXML 3.0 with SQL Server 2000, and how to incorporate message queuing into applications using MSMQ 3.0.

Author Carsten Thomsen, a recognized Microsoft "Most Valuable Professional," carries over one of the most popular features from the first edition: the real-world sample application that he built throughout. With this example code, you can connect to SQL Server from your choices of SQL Server .NET Data Provider, OLE DB .NET Data Provider, or ODBC .NET Data Provider. Exchange Server 2000 data manipulation is also covered, with original working code.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Guide to ADO.Net, September 26, 2001

Jon Tomana (Sarasota, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)

I'd recommend this book to any experienced VB programmer that wishes to get into data access with .Net. This book isn't for beginners. If you've worked with ADO and VB for a time, it should be just right. I've invested in a couple of other Apress books and this one is of similar high quality. Lots of details, good reference material, and easy to read. Nice ADO.Net diagram tear out in the back of the book is a nice bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, September 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)

This book is something else; not only do I get all the information I need about ADO.NET, but the way the sample code has been put together, leading to a complete application, is simply great. Don't miss out on this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starting point for ADO.NET newbie's, August 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)

It starts exactly where I want it to start and guides me through to the more advanced stuff. I saw the Active Directory Stuff, which isn't really me, but I do like the Message Queuing material. That was excellent. I am a fairly decent VB programmer, but the new VB.NET has taken me quite a while to get used to, so I was looking for some good book or other material to teach me ADO.NET, because it is so different to ADO. This book, even with its minor "mistakes" is worth every dime.
