Part III, Data Access

 <  Day Day Up  >  

For data to remain persistent, it must be written to a long- term storage medium such as a hard disk. Chapter 12, "File I/O and Serialization," looks at various techniques involved with file input and output. Furthermore, it also covers serialization, the act of saving an object's state, by looking at the various serialization options available within the .NET Framework.

The Extensible Markup Language (XML), discussed in Chapter 13, "XML in .NET," is playing a major role in almost every technology being used or developed. At its most basic level, it's a simple text-based file format, but the different ways in which you can apply rules makes it a good fit for everything from application configuration files to method invocation on remote objects.

Databases have transformed the Internet from static Web pages to truly dynamic information systems. You see in Chapter 14, "Database Programming with ADO.NET," that ADO.NET is the .NET solution for interacting with different database technologies, from Microsoft Access to more industrial-level database systems such as SQL Server.
