The Structure of This Book

As with all books in the Sams Teach Yourself in 21 Days series, this book consists of three main sections (or weeks) of seven chapters (or days) each, and each week focuses on a different aspect of ADO.NET. During Week 1, you'll first get an overview of ADO.NET and focus on its design goals and its place in the history of data access technologies. You'll then drill down into the first of the two main ADO.NET components ”the DataSet . During this week, you'll learn how to manipulate and employ the DataSet using the disconnected programming model that ADO.NET exposes to make building stateless and scalable applications easier.

Week 2 will focus on the members that make up the second major component of ADO.NET: the .NET Data Providers that communicate with data stores such as SQL Server and Oracle. Each day this week you'll focus on a different aspect of .NET Data Providers, and will be given plenty of hints and techniques for getting the most out of each set of objects.

Finally, Week 3 will be centered around using ADO.NET in the context of a multi-tier application. During the early part of the week, you'll learn how ADO.NET fits into each of the layers of a multi- tier application. The week will end with a discussion of performance and a look at the future.

By laying out the book in this way, I hope to provide you with a balance of concrete and theoretical information that enables you to start using ADO.NET immediately and appropriately.
