In this chapter you learned about ADO.NET, the most recent evolution of ActiveX Data Objects. You saw that there are great benefits to using ADO.NET, including the following:
Interoperability
Maintainability
Programmability
Performance
Scalability
You also received a high-level overview of the ADO.NET object model, and you learned that the DataSet is the centerpiece of an ADO.NET solution. In each DataSet , there's a RelationsCollection and a TablesCollection. In each DataTable of the TablesCollection , there's a columns collection and a rows collection. You also saw some code samples for dynamically building an ADO.NET DataSet .
As you progress through this book, you'll look deeper into the object model and write code against the ADO.NET objects.
