Week 1: At a Glance

for RuBoard

The goal of this week is to get you familiar with ADO.NET concepts and the ways in which you can use the DataSet object in disconnected scenarios. A basic understanding of managed execution and either VB or C# syntax in VS .NET is also recommended, although a short primer about managed code is given on Day 1.

This week is basically split into two sections. Days 1 and 2 provide the introduction and overview of ADO.NET. During these first two days, you'll learn about the history of Microsoft data access technologies and how ADO.NET was designed to further extend those models and to help developers avoid common mistakes. In addition, you'll be exposed to the integration of ADO.NET with VS .NET to get a feel for how VS .NET can be used to assist in the development of your applications.

In Days 3 through 7, you'll dig into the details of the DataSet object and explore how you can use it to select, find, view, and otherwise manipulate data. You'll also learn about its internal structure and the objects it contains, how changes to data are tracked, how derived DataSet classes can be generated and assist in development, and, finally, the ways in which the DataSet is based on and integrates with XML standards. At the end of the week, you should be totally comfortable with using a DataSet both graphically and programmatically to utilize the disconnected programming model in your applications.
