From Book News, Inc.
Written for experienced Visual Basic programmers, this guide introduces database programming using the classes, properties, methods, and events of the ADO.NET data access method. The authors explain how to use typed and untyped datasets with bound and unbound controls, work with data commands directly, create schemas that define the tables of a dataset, access data from an ASP.NET web application, customize web controls, and generate reports with Crystal Reports. An example order entry application for Windows is provided.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR


Book Description
If you know the VB.NET basics, this book teaches everything else you need for developing and deploying database applications with Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET, the new data access method for the .NET platform. That includes Windows as well as web applications, and both two-tiered and three-tiered applications. Along the way, you’ll learn how to use typed and untyped datasets, bound and unbound controls, data views, parameterized queries, and more. You’ll also learn how to use XML for defining data structures, Crystal Reports for developing reports, and the Server Explorer for working with a database.


From the Publisher
If you’re a VB.NET programmer who wants to learn database programming with ADO.NET at a professional level here’s a new book that presents all the skills you need in a logical progression from the simple to the complex. And because our books have features that you won’t find in competing books, you’ll learn faster and better. Here’s how we do it: * This book presents everything you need to know to develop VB.NET database applications at a professional level. That sounds simple. But to get all of this information from other sources would take you 3 or 4 other books plus the Microsoft documentation…and you’d still have to figure out how it all worked together! * To show you how all of the pieces of a database application interact, this book presents 21 complete applications ranging from the simple to the complex. This includes the forms, the code, and the property settings. As we see it, the only way to master database programming is to study applications like these. And yet, you won’t find them in other books. * If you page through this book, you’ll see that all of the information is presented in "paired pages," with the essential syntax, guidelines, and examples on the right page and the perspective and extra explanation on the left page. This helps you learn faster by reading less...and this is the ideal reference format when you need to refresh your memory about how to do something.

SYNOPSIS

To present all the database programming skills in a manageable progression, this book is divided into five sections. In section 1, chapter 1 introduces you to the database concepts and terms that you need to know, and chapter 2 gives you your first look at the classes and objects of ADO.NET. Then, chapter 3 shows you how to develop your first complete database application. When you￯﾿ᄑre done, you￯﾿ᄑll know how to use the disconnected data architecture and the basic ADO.NET objects, and you￯﾿ᄑll be well prepared for all that follows. In section 2, you￯﾿ᄑll learn how to use the ADO.NET classes and techniques that every database programmer should know. That includes the use of typed and untyped datasets, bound and unbound controls, data views, parameterized queries, and relationships. When you￯﾿ᄑre done, you￯﾿ᄑll be well on your way to becoming an accomplished database programmer. In section 3, you￯﾿ᄑll raise your skills to another level. In chapters 8 and 9, you￯﾿ᄑll learn how to work with data commands directly and you￯﾿ᄑll learn three more ways to create the schemas that define the tables in a dataset. Then, chapter 10 shows you how to create and use database classes so you can separate the database layer from the business and presentation layers of an application. Last, to show you how the skills of the first 10 chapters are used in the real world, chapter 11 presents a complete order entry application that updates 9 different tables. In section 4, you￯﾿ᄑll learn the database programming skills that you need as you develop web applications with ASP.NET. In particular, you￯﾿ᄑll learn three programming techniques that are commonly used with web applications that use databases, and you￯﾿ᄑll learn how to use two Web Server controls that are specifically designed for working with databases. Finally, section 5 completes the set of skills that every .NET database programmer should have. Here, chapter 15 introduces you to ADO.NET￯﾿ᄑs XML features. Chapter 16 shows how to use Crystal Reports to generate reports from a database. And chapter 17 shows how to use the Server Explorer to perform common database tasks like managing the data objects that you work with.
