Malik consults on Microsoft technologies and leads the office of Emerging Technologies at the National Cancer Institute. Programmers and developers with some experience with databases are the intended audience of this book, which explains and advises in the use of Pro ADO.NET 2.0, the most current data access technology found within Microsoft's .NET framework. Three introductory chapters cover basic concepts and definitions. The remaining chapters provide codes, in both C# and VB .NET languages, for achieving specific tasks. Examples use SQL Server 2005--the author points out major differences and relevant code samples for Oracle users. Advice covers tasks that include retrieving data in a connected fashion; sorting, searching, and filtering; updating data; and undertaking transactions. The last chapter summarizes ADO.NET best practices. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
