We covered a lot of ground in this chapter, from using ADO within your Visual Basic .NET application, to data binding and getting Recordsets to work with XML Web services, to moving to ADO.NET. Remember that you have many choices regarding how you implement your application. If your investment in ADO is too heavy at this time for you to consider upgrading to ADO.NET, you can still continue to improve and develop your application with an eye to switching to ADO.NET in the future. On the other hand, when you make the plunge into ADO.NET and the various managed providers, you will reap significant performance gains over pure ADO.
