Customer Reviews

Very good

This is a very detailed book about ADO .NET and more. I especially like chapter 3 which is really my ADO .NET reference now, but also some of the other chapters stand out, like chapter 8 about message queues. This is a solid introduction to ADO .NET that I can recommend to any VB programmer that has previously been working with ADO.

Very Useful Guide to ADO.Net

I'd recommend this book to any experienced VB programmer that wishes to get into data access with .Net. This book isn't for beginners. If you've worked with ADO and VB for a time, it should be just right. I've invested in a couple of other Apress books and this one is of similar high quality. Lots of details, good reference material, and easy to read. Nice ADO.Net diagram tear out in the back of the book is a nice bonus.

Database Primer

This is a good book, because it contains everything I ever needed to know about ADO.NET (ADO .NET?). I also needed some information on Message Queuing and that is also covered in a chapter, which is probably the best chapter of them all. I can whole heartedly recommend this book!

Excellent!

This book is something else; not only do I get all the information I need about ADO.NET, but the way the sample code has been put together, leading to a complete application, is simply great. Don't miss out on this book!

Good starting point for ADO.NET newbie's

It starts exactly where I want it to start and guides me through to the more advanced stuff. I saw the Active Directory Stuff, which isn't really me, but I do like the Message Queuing material. That was excellent. I am a fairly decent VB programmer, but the new VB.NET has taken me quite a while to get used to, so I was looking for some good book or other material to teach me ADO.NET, because it is so different to ADO. This book, even with its minor "mistakes" is worth every dime.
