Presents Visual Basic developers how to use Visual Studio 2005 and ADO.NET 2.0 to develop database applications the way the professionals do. This book shows how to use the 2.0 data sources feature. It also presents how to build 3-layer applications that consist of presentation, business, and database classes.

Dan Appleman's Developing COM/ActiveX Components with Visual Basic 6 provides expert-mode knowledge of COM controls along with a guide to some of the latest features in Visual Basic. Extremely thorough and densely packed with advice, this book is just right for the programmer who needs to know all the details about Visual Basic controls.The author begins with a tour of ActiveX and COM, along with some common myths about the technology. His introduction to COM technology is good, but Appleman also explains the pros and cons of COM objects used as in-process dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), standalone EXEs, and remote processes.
When it comes to Visual Basic, the author gives plenty of expert knowledge on class and project options. He covers how to design objects in Visual Basic up close and includes some hard-to-find material on collections and multithreading programming techniques. Appleman also provides an interesting example, a live stock-quote server.
A good deal of the book concentrates on writing ActiveX controls in Visual Basic. Although some developers use the Active Template Library (ATL) and Visual C++ for high performance, it's clear that Visual Basic can do a fine job of creating reusable controls. The author presents an A-to-Z tour of ActiveX control development, with due consideration of such topics as properties, events, property pages, and even security and

For anyone who programs with databases in the new .NET in C#, ADO.NET: Examples and Best Practices for C# Programmers shows you what works and what doesn’t when it comes to Microsoft’s latest APIs for working with databases. Filled with practical advice and recommended "Best Practices", this concise and useful book offers some valuable advice for anyone working with ADO.NET.While many C# titles cover Microsoft’s .NET Framework in its entirety, the focus on the APIs and programming strategies for databases makes this one a standout. This edition of the book is actually a re-write of William Vaughn’s older title for ADO Examples and Best Practices, but it adopts the same focus in showing how to do the job right when it comes to databases. The new and improved features of ADO .NET are clearly compared to the earlier COM-based standard (referred to here as ADOc). Early sections delve into connecting to ADO.NET data sources (using SQL Server and ODBC).
The focus on "Best Practices" for fast, correct code begins with a full tour of using Command objects in ADO.NET with hints for getting to parameters in SQL code (including stored procedures). A winning feature here is the information on Visual Studio.NET wizards for programming with database objects. (The wizard support is surprisingly powerful and you are shown how to start with wizard-generated code and then customise it yourself.)
The fastest way to get to data in ADO.NET is arguable using a DataReader class. Coverage here is followed by a richer tour of the options using DataTable and DataSet, which allow you to define new table structures, including relational data and disconnected datasets. Good features in this text are the authors’ benchmarks for determining how to dig into ADO.NET collections to find individual column data within a record fast. (Certain coding conventions here can really ruin performance, and you’ll learn what to avoid.)
The book rounds out with a tour of XML support available in ADO.NET, including how to pass data in and out of databases through XML. A useful example that shows a Web service exposing a bit of ADO.NET database code will let you extend your ADO.NET programs across servers. A brief introduction to the relevant standards in Web services like SOAP will help you understand what goes into Web services.
Databases are a part of most business application, so most .NET developers will need to master new APIs and programming strategies in a hurry. This title fits the bill with a useful and fast-moving tutorial that will get you going confidently with .NET and databases done the right way from the beginning. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: COM-based ActiveX Data Objects (ADOc) vs. ADO.NET compared; overview of ADO.NET classes and features (including XML support, data providers, disconnected data sets); connecting to data with SQL, ODBC and ADOc data providers; using ADO.NET command objects in detail (including stored procedures and IDE support); using the ADO.NET DataReader object for fast, read-only queries, using the DataTable, and DataSet objects (including building tables on-the-fly); filtering, sorting and searching techniques with ADO.NET (including the DataView object); updating data with ADO.NET (adding, editing and deleting rows, validation, update strategies, using identity fields); using.NET constraints (including unique and foreign key constraints, DataRelation objects), structured exception handling with ADO.NET; XML support in ADO.NET (including DataSet XML features, DiffGrams, XML Schema); a Web service example with XML and a dataset; SOAP explained; benchmark data for best practices with ADO.NET; using the DataAdapter Configuration Wizard (DACW) and other Visual Studio.NET wizards.

Useful for anyone who programs with databases on Windows, the new edition of ADO 2.6 Programmer's Reference is an up-to-the-minute source of information on the latest features available in ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and related standards from Microsoft. Besides being a handy resource you can use every day, this book is filled with practical tips on how to get the most out of database APIs.The practical focus is on explaining ADO and related standards. In a chapter-by-chapter tour, the book covers all the bases with Microsoft Universal Data Access (UDA) strategy. You learn what works best when connecting to record-sets with ADO and when to take advantage of Internet Explorer-specific APIs like RDS, data shaping and JRO. Each chapter examines the objects in a particular database standard, and then drills down into the properties, methods and events that you'll need to program with ADO effectively.
Tips and even warnings about bugs and known gotchas for particular objects are provided in abundance. The charts listing features supported by various OLE DB providers are also useful. You get specific suggestions about which APIs to use, plus some benchmarking of various cursor types and database programming strategies (comparing stored procedures, parameterised queries and hard-coded SQL within ADO code).
Reference material naturally makes up the heart of this text. With o
