Format:Paperback
Amongst the diverse range of .NET books out there, there aren't many that give a full treatment to ADO.NET. That's surprising, since ADO.NET marks a significant revolution to Microsoft's data access model, and having a good understanding of the object model is essential to writing high-performance data-centric applications.

Enter the MS Press Core Reference. This hardback is a little intimidating on first examination due to its size, but is well enough structured that you can dip into an interesting chapter without missing out on what's gone before it. Calling it a reference book is perhaps misleading: it implies that the book is far less readable as a tutorial than it actually is. The author's experience in the WebData team comes across - there are sidebars scattered throughout with valuable performance tips and tricks that are usually not well known.

The book isn't without any weaknesses. For instance, it could benefit from a little more depth on how to design a data tier in ADO.NET: one could come away rather daunted by the range of choices available. The introduction of the concept of strongly-typed datasets also comes a little late, perhaps. But overall, the quality and accuracy of the information contained, coupled with a very approachable writing style, leaves this as the best book available on the subject for enterprise developers. Recommended.

Excellent Book 23 April 2004
Format:Paperback
A really good book, I had a softcopy of the book and I had read a coupleof chapter by printing out the softcopy. I had to get the hardcopy of thebook since it is such a good book, I needed the book mainly for my Ms .NETcertification 70-316, I almost read about 40% of the book in about a dayand half just 2 days before my exam, and trust me is it really a good booksince I could absorb a lot in such short reading. I used Amit Kalanis bookfor 70-316 but the amount of stuff regarding 70-316 covered in that bookis not enough for the exam, you will need this book.

Format:Paperback
Having brought a few books on VB.NET and each having sections on ADO.NET, i could not get my head around some of the concepts. But i found this book that takes you through step by step examples both in VB & C# and throughly explains everything. So if your just starting out with ADO.NET this is a must have book. The price could have been double, but the time i saved it would have been still worth it !
