If you're going to develop serious database applications...the kind that businesses rely on every day...then this is the book for you.
It teaches you how to use Visual Studio 2005 and ADO.NET 2.0 to develop professional database applications for both Windows and the web, as quickly and easily as possible.
And it covers the full gamut of skills you need...from
using prototyping features that generate ADO.NET code
to writing your own ADO.NET code from scratch so you
can closely control how the database processing works:
- In section 1, you'll quickly be creating database
applications using the ADO.NET features for rapid
application development and prototyping. That includes
features that are new in 2.0, like data sources, as
well as traditional components like datasets.
- In section 2, you'll learn how to build 3-layer applications the ways the pros do, with presentation, business, and database classes. This is where you'll get into ADO.NET coding to create your own classes. You'll also learn how to use the 2.0 object data sources feature that makes this approach even more effective.
- In section 3, you'll develop database applications
for the web using ASP.NET 2.0 data source controls,
including the object data source control.
- In section 4, you'll gain more control over the
way your applications work, in two ways. You'll
learn how to use typed and untyped datasets with unbound
controls to manage database processing. And you'll
learn how to use data views and relationships to manage
data retrieval.
- In section 5, you'll complete the set of skills that every .NET database programmer should have by learning how to (1) handle XML data in your applications, (2) do everyday database management tasks using the Visual Studio Server Explorer, and (3) generate reports using Crystal Reports
The table of contents gives you a complete rundown on what each chapter does. But in brief, by the time you finish this book, you'll have gained the ADO.NET skills that make you a top .NET developer. Try it and see for yourself!
