Summary

In this chapter, we introduced you to ADO.NET and discussed how it supports and interacts with ASP.NET. We also demonstrated how to create DataSets and bind them to server controls. Keep in mind that ADO.NET is a still a somewhat new initiative. Microsoft is constantly evolving and bettering .NET as a whole. Since the technology is evolving, you will run into problems that seem to defy both Macromedia and Microsoft documentation. As such, it is imperative that you not only keep up, but also actively seek out the latest technical documents and patches for .NET, Windows, and Dreamweaver MX.
