This text assumes the reader has mastered standard Visual Basic development techniques and is now looking for focused coverage to help develop and implement a universal data access strategy for database application. It gives instruction in the specific techniques and technologies to make Visual Basic a useful programming tool for tapping the power of ADO. The topics covered are: connecting to data using ADO; using visual database tools to investigate and modify databases; ensuring flexible data presentation using bound controls; creating complex forms using the DataEnvironment summarizing data with DataReports; working with disconnected recordsets; sorting, filtering, and editing data; creating data-aware classes; using server-side business objects; using ADO with DHTML; using ADOMD to query data warehouses; creating data sources with VB.

Just an overview.... not much detail,
By
This review is from: Visual Basic Developer's Guide to ADO (Paperback)
I am new to ADO and wanted detailed info on how to get around the new recordsets, modify them, bind them etc. This handbook will gloss over lots of points including ADO controls, Data environments, recordsets etc, but does not go into details. I would not recommend this book.

VERY BASIC,
By KCGIRL (Kansas City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual Basic Developer's Guide to ADO (Paperback)
I think this book would be okay for someone who just needs VERY basic usage of ADO. The examples provided are very simple and there is no detailed info anywhere. There is not even a mention of the topic of OpenSchema and there is a 1 paragraph reference to ADOX & ADOMD. I recommend the ADO 2.1 Programmer's Reference by David Sussman.

Too bad we must rely on Microsoft,
By Richard Edward Kane (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual Basic Developer's Guide to ADO (Paperback)
Mr. Gunderloy's book makes for very good reading. It is by far the most well written Visual Basic book that I have come across. Unfortunately, most of the really interesting things in the book require ADO version 2.5--which apparently Microsoft released and then unreleased. There's nothing more irritating than having to use the Microsoft web site and then discovering the download you need is not available. Microsoft is supposed to re-release ADO 2.5 on February 17, 2000. When it does, this book will be very useful.
