Microsoft has recently revamped its MCSD program. In order to obtain their MCSD, candidates are required to pass four exams-three core exams and one elective exam. All of the core exams are new tests as are many of the electives. Microsoft is putting a huge push behind increasing the number of MCSDs worldwide, and will be putting a significant marketing effort behind the MCSD program. Given the increased importance of the MCSD program to Microsoft's certification strategy, the popularity of the new VB 6 exams, and the increasing interest in the MCSD program, the MCSD arena will be attracting new exam candidates over the next year. In addition to attracting new exam candidates, existing MCSDs will also be updating their certifications to cover the newly released exams. Candidates are in need of complete, concise, inexpensive study guides to fully prepare them to pass the MCSD exams. This book is the answer.

What is this book about? For a web site to offer its users an experience that improves on that of newspapers or textbooks, it needs a way to change the information it contains dynamically - and that means it needs access to a data source. Through the combination of ASP.NET and ADO.NET, Microsoft provides everything necessary to access, read from, and write to a database, and then allow web users to view and manipulate that data from a web browser. In this book, we'll show you how it's done. What does this book cover? Packed with clear explanations and hands-on examples, Beginning ASP.NET Databases contains everything you'll need on your journey to becoming a confident, successful programmer of data-driven web sites. In particular, we'll look at: <ul>
<li>Connecting to common data sources, including SQL Server and MS Access</li> <li>Reading data with data reader and dataset objects</li> <li>Creating and deleting records, and editing data</li> <li>Displaying data with ASP.NET's web server controls</li> <li>Writing and using stored procedures from VB.NET code</li> <li>Placing your data access code in reusable class libraries</li> </ul>
The book closes with a real-world case study that consolidates the tutorials throughout the book into a practical result. Who is this book for? To use this book, you need a computer running either Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition. The examples it contains will not run on Windows XP Home Edition. This book is for people who have some experience of programming ASP.NET with Visual Basic .NET, are familiar with the operation of the .NET Framework, and want to learn how to use ASP.NET to make data-centric web applications. No prior knowledge of database programming is necessary.

This text begins by introducing Visual InterDev as a development environment aimed at the professional web developer. It shows how existing knowledge of HTML, ASP and scripting can be combined with Visual InterDev features to enable developers to create complex applications, integrate databases and maintain a consistent structure and appearance for a site. It also describes how Visual InterDev can be used to support teams working on large projects and contains extensive coverage of how to use the script debugging features. The book then moves out to cover important aspects of how to effectively use Visual InterDev in rapid web application development by describing how to create design-time controls (ActiveX controls used at design time to build script that is executed at run time), COM components and Windows Script components. A demonstration of how Visual InterDev can be used within an n-tier development environment is achieved by presenting two case studies based on commercial situations. Finally the book introduces the technology areas of XML and XSL, something that all serious web developers could soon find themselves needing to know.

All windows developers need to use ADO. ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.5 is Microsoft's latest Data Access technology. It is used to enable fast and efficient data transfer between a database and the end users. What's more, ADO 2.5 works across a range of languages (VB, VC, ASP, Access, Office etc) and with a range of back-end databases - SQL Server 7, Oracle 8i, Access 2000 etc. Almost all developers work with some combination of these technologies, so they all need to know ADO.

Access 2000 is the database of choice for many small to medium businesses. Using Access in conjunction with VBA, VB or ASP it is possible to develop sophisticated systems for storing and manipulating business data. Office 2000 and Access 2000 offer many new features that can be used with VB to create great user interfaces and applications. This book concentrates on the issues involved with this type of development, and shows how to create database-driven internet and intranet applications with Access as the underlying datastore.
