.NET Data Access Using ADO.NET
In recognizing the importance of data access and manipulation to business
applications, Microsoft has made its new ADO.NET technology an integral part of
the .NET Framework. ADO.NET is far more powerful than previous incarnations of
ADO. It allows developers to access data from databases as well as from XML
sources. In addition, there are robust mechanisms for working with that data in
either connected or disconnected environments. As with the other aspects of
.NET, ADO.NET functionality is backwards-compatible, so it can interact with COM
and ADO components.
This 3-day hands-on class will introduce developers to all these topics, as
well as addressing more advanced topics, such as transactional programming and
performance, security, and migration issues. The class includes many hands-on
exercises, and students will come away with the ability to successfully access,
update, and manipulate data in both client- and server-side .NET applications.
Furthermore, they will have learned the information necessary to making
important design decisions concerning performance trade-offs and whether to
incorporate or migrate older, pre-.NET code.
NOTE: This class can be taught in either Visual Basic .NET or C#.
Who Should Attend
The workshop material is aimed at developers who will be writing data-centric
applications using the .NET Framework.
Prerequisites
Students should be familiar with the .NET environment and the basics of
relational databases and SQL. They also need to know the programming language in
which the class is taught. Knowledge of XML is useful, though not necessary, and
no ADO experience is required.
Workshop Objectives:
- Connect to databases and execute SQL commands.
- Manipulate data using DataSets.
- Present data to users with data forms.
- Explore the built-in ADO.NET features of Visual Studio .NET.
- Use transactions to support your business logic.
- Work with data from XML sources.
- Optimize your data access performance.
- Integrate with COM and ADO objects.
