Written by experts on the Microsoft® .NET programming platform, ADO.NET in a Nutshell delivers everything .NET programmers will need to get a jump-start on ADO.NET technology or to sharpen their skills even further. In the tradition of O'Reilly's In a Nutshell Series, ADO.NET in a Nutshell is the most complete and concise source of ADO.NET information available.ADO.NET is the suite of data access technologies in the .NET Framework that developers use to build applications services accessing relational data and XML. Connecting to databases is a fundamental part of most applications, whether they are web, Windows®, distributed, client/server, XML Web Services, or something entirely different. But ADO.NET is substantially different from Microsoft's previous data access technologies--including the previous version of ADO--so even experienced developers need to understand the basics of the new disconnected model before they start programming with it.Current with the .NET Framework 1.1, ADO.NET in a Nutshell offers one place to look when you need help with anything related to this essential technology, including a reference to the ADO.NET namespaces and object model. In addition to being a valuable reference, this book provides a concise foundation for programming with ADO.NET and covers a variety of issues that programmers face when developing web applications or Web Services that rely on database access. Using C#, this book presents real world, practical examples that will help you put ADO.NET to work immediately.Topics covered in the book include:
<ul>
<li>An Introduction to ADO.NET</li>
<li>Connections, Commands and DataReaders</li>
<li>Disconnected Data</li>
<li>Advanced DataSets</li>
<li>Transactions</li>
<li>DataViews and Data Binding</li>
<li>XML and the DataSet</li>
</ul>Included with the book is a Visual Studio .NET add-in that integrates the entire reference directly into your help files. When combining ADO.NET in a Nutshell with other books from O'Reilly's .NET In a Nutshell series, you'll have a comprehensive, detailed and independent reference collection that will help you become more productive.

Designed in the highly regarded O'Reilly Cookbook format, ADO.NET Cookbook is strikingly different from other books on the subject. It isn't bogged down with pages of didactic theory. The ADO.NET Cookbook focuses exclusively on providing developers with easy-to-find coding solutions to real problems.ADO.NET Cookbook is a comprehensive collection of over 150 solutions and best practices for everyday dilemmas. For each problem addressed in the book, there's a solution--a short, focused piece of code that programmers can insert directly into their applications.And ADO.NET Cookbook is more than just a handy compilation of cut-and-paste C# and VB.NET code. ADO.NET Cookbook offers clear explanations of how and why the code works, warns of potential pitfalls, and directs you to sources of additional information, so you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to different situations. This is a painless way for developers who prefer to learn by doing to expand their skills and productivity, while solving the pressing problems they face every day.These time-saving recipes include vital topics like connecting to data, retrieving and managing data, transforming and analyzing data, modifying data, binding data to .NET user interfaces, optimizing .NET data access, enumerating and maintaining database objects, and maintaining database integrity.The diverse solutions presented here will prove invaluable over and over again, for ADO.NET programmers at all levels, from the relatively inexperienced to the most sophisticated.

Few .Net developers have the luxury of unlimited code testing once their application is complete, and rushing through the testing process is both problematic and stressful. The open source Nunit framework provides an excellent and efficient way to test and improve .Net code as it's written, saving hundreds of Qa hours and headaches.Nunit is one of the most mature and widely-used .Net open source projects even Microsoft uses it internally. Nunit is a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages. Written entirely in C#, Nunit takes advantage of many .Net language features, such as custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities. It automates unit testing and reduces the effort required to frequently test code while developing it. Nuint is invaluable for .Net developers in test-driven development under agile methodologies such as Extreme Programming (Xp) as well as for developers who use for unit testing for software quality assurance. Unfortunately, some of those valuable hours saved by using Nunit can be wasted trying to master this powerful but under-documented frameworkProof that good things come in small packages, the Nunit Pocket Reference is a complete reference to Nunit, filling in the blanks left by the existing documentation and online discussion. It offers developers everything they need to know to install, configure, and use Nunit; the Nunit user interface; and a reference to the Nunit framework classes in a slim but well-organized package. This handy little book even offers practical, real world Nunit examples. And with the Nunit Pocket Reference, It managers will know to expect when they implement unit testing in their projects. It is the only book you'll need on this popular and practical new open source framework.
