Murach's ADO.NET 2.0 Database Programming with VB 2005
By:Anne Boehm
All the Murach books are absolutely terrific - we highly recommend anything by this publisher. Here's what this book has that's important:
- 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
