Chapter 10. Introduction to ADO.NET
Ostensibly, ADO.NET and ADO provide similar functionality: Each provides an object model for retrieving and manipulating data. In addition, the object models provide some similar objects: Connection, Command, and DataSet objects, for example.

In this chapter, you were introduced to the following subjects:
The many different ADO.NET classes
Namespaces used to work with data from data sources
Examples of how to use some of the ADO.NET classes
