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 and ADO.NET
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 RAD and 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 were introduced in .NET 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 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 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.
