The most thorough, practical ADO tutorial and reference SH2ever published.
In ADO Programming in Visual Basic, master Visual Basic programmerSH3 Steven Holzner has written the first tutorial/reference designed to give experienced Visual Basic 6 developers absolute mastery over ADO. Absolutely comprehensive, and filled with realistic examples, inside tips, and solved problems, it's the total ADO guide for sophisticated VB developers.
With Holzner's expert guidance, you'll master the ADO object model from start to finish: database tools, creating data objects, transactions, using the ADO object library, using the Remote Data Service (RDS), making the most of data shaping, using the ADO control in Visual Basic applications, ADO integration with Microsoft Internet Explorer, and more. This book lays out in detail the difficult topics other books avoid, and provides a full reference to ADO.
Discover the best ways to achieve high-performance database access, whether you're creating a front-end database client or middle-tier business object, using an application, tool, language, or even an Internet browser.

Format:Paperback
I read this book coming from a VB/Access background, using DAO and wanted to learn to upgrade my skills to ADO. This book didn't help me achieve that. Great for a computer science course maybe (very dry), but for someone just trying to learn how to actually USE the technology, the lack of examples is frustrating. If you want to be this bored, go read the manual for your VCR instead (this coming from someone who loves programming!).

Very Good Book
25 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
It's nice to see a book focused on ADO programming. The book is most appropriate for more advanced programmers, though. I am a Sr. Programmer and I keep this book nearby for reference, as it contains excellent examples that give me all sorts of coding ideas. There are 2 topics I wish the author had spent more time on though: 1. the architecture of database connectivity, and 2. more on the use of pure code to connect to a database and manipulate recordsets (i.e. the book covers a lot on bound controls, but not as much time is spent on how to use ADO to build/use unbound controls). All said, it really is a good book. Just make sure you already have a good understanding of VB, and databases in general.

ADO Programming in Visual Basic 6
19 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
I'd been trying to learn ADO coming from FoxPro 2.6 (the old days). Nothing I'd read tied the topic together as well as this book did. I'd rate it as somewhere between a reference book and a beginner's learning edition. Some pages are taken up with code examples that can be found on the CD. All in all, however, this is the first book I turn to now when I need an answer regarding ADO.

Invaluable
29 Aug 2003
Format:Paperback
I bought this book two years ago. I originally read it cover to cover. However, I still often use it for review.
It is not only well written both from a organziation perspective, but also in content. Examples are complete and ample.
I HIGHLY recommend this book.
