This document provides an overview of ADO.NET, including its key classes and capabilities for accessing and manipulating database data in a disconnected and web-centric manner. ADO.NET uses XML under the hood to transport data across networks without special code. It allows retrieving an entire database table locally for offline processing and updating changes when reconnecting. The core classes are Connection, Command, DataReader and DataAdapter.

ADO.NET has a number of classes
that :
Retrieve Data
Manipulate Data
Update Data
VB,C#, C++, J#

ADO.NET
ADO vs. ADO.NET
ADO works great, but:
Requires COM and Windows
Recordsets dont travel well over the Internet
Connected behavior is hard to work with
Requires more code
ADO.NET solves these problems
Uses XML under the covers for all data
transport
No special code needed to marshal across
the Internet

ADO.NET
Disconnected?
ADO.NET offers the
capability of working with
databases in a disconnected
manner.
An entire database table can
be retrieved to a local
computer/temp file if it is a
network database.
A connection could also be
constant
ADO.NET
Web-Centric Applications
Download the data and
process it at a local
level.
If changes are made, the
connection can be
remade and the changes
posted.
The database could be
LAN or Internet based.

Data Providers
MS SQL Server 7.0+

OLE DB (old SQL & Access- Jet 4.0)
Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC)- earlier Visual Studio,
Access Driver, ODBC for Oracle

ADO.NET
4 Core Classes of ADO.NET
Connection-Connect to database
Command-SQL statement to retrieve
data
DataReader-Sequential access to the
data source
DataAdapter-Populate a dataset
& Update the database
ADO.NET
Other ADO Terms
Fill : The OleDbDataAdapter method Fill
retrieves information from the database
associated with OleDbConnection and
places this information in the DataSet.
DataGrid: A DataGrid is the area which
will be filled with data from the
database. The DataGrid method
SetDataBinding binds a DataGrid to a
data source.

Adding a Connection
The ADD CONNECTION option is built
into ADO.NET to create a database
connection in the DATA LINK
PROPERTIES window. The DATA
ADAPTER CONFIGURATION WIZARD is
used to set up an OleDbDataAdapter
which generates queries to the
connected database.
