ADO .NET Programming provides a sophisticated reference to ADO .NET solution development. Aimed at database programmers with a working knowledge of the .NET Framework, this book dissects the ADO .NET component model and provides real-world examples demonstrating how ADO .NET can be used to manipulate data from different sources.
The appendixes include references to the new object-oriented pradigm of VB .NET, database normalization, views, stored procedure and trigger programming, and techniques for adding SQL functionality. About the Authors

Chapter 2: Interacting with Databases
In This Chapter
Throughout Chapter 1, you learned about the
existence of the components available as two distinct groups in ADO
.NET. There is the group of
This chapter is about the first aforementioned group of components that provides an interface to the data source. A complete reference is provided on the following components:
-
Connection
-
Command
-
DataReader
-
DataAdapter
As covered in Chapter 1, all .NET data providers must implement interfaces to all these components. Figure 2-1 shows the relationship of these components inside a .NET data provider. In this chapter, we will cover each of these components as they are implemented in the two original data providers shipped with the .NET Framework (SQL Server .NET Data Provider and OLE DB .NET Data Provider).

A view inside a .NET data provider
This chapter is very conceptual and organized as a reference volume to the above objects. After learning about the concepts in this chapter, you will be provided with an overview of how everything fits together in a practical programming environment in Chapter 5.
