MSDN Webcast: ADO.NET Step by Step (Part 01 of 16): Getting Started (Level 200)  

This webcast series is based on Microsoft ADO.NET Step by Step, by Rebecca M. Riordan (Microsoft Press, 2002). In this first session, we provide an overview of ADO.NET, the data-access component of the Microsoft .NET Framework. We explain how ADO.NET works with almost any component on nearly every platform that understands XML. We also discuss the database functionality of Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET. Attend this session to start working with ADO.NET right away with easy-to-grasp examples drawn from the real-world challenges developers face every day. Learn how you can take advantage of the ADO.NET object model to develop data-bound Windows Forms and Web Forms, and see an example of binding data to a simple Windows Form. We explore how ADO.NET interacts with XML and describe how to access older versions of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) from the .NET Framework environment. Join us for insightful tips and expert explanations of how ADO.NET can help you accelerate development productivity, build faster applications, and deliver more powerful results.
