Murach's VB.NET Database Programming with ADO.NET
- 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.
