Product Description

Product Description
This work covers recent developments in Visual Basic 5, including "Vegas" and the Java Byte Code Compiler. It contains functioning code, and the CD offers relevant third-party application and ActiveX object solutions.

From the Back Cover

Whether you are using WinForms, WebForms, or Web Services, Database Access with Visual Basic® .NET, Third Edition, is your practical guide to developing database applications with Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET. The authors provide real-world solutions to the data-access issues Visual Basic .NET developers face every day and share their secrets for becoming a more effective database programmer using .NET technologies.

The book begins by reviewing the fundamentals of database development, Structured Query Language (SQL), and Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000. It then examines how to use the major ADO.NET objects to access data stored in relational databases. Through detailed examples, readers learn how to use properties and methods, as well as more advanced features and techniques. Extensive code listings in Visual Basic .NET illustrate each concept, while business cases apply concepts to real-world applications. The final chapters provide a solid examination of how XML and ASP.NET integrate with ADO.NET to create various types of database applications. A companion Web site provides the code used in the book's myriad examples, all of which is compatible with Visual Basic .NET 2003.

Key topic coverage includes:

  • SQL queries and commands
  • Using SQL Server 2000
  • ADO.NET objects
  • Advanced ADO.NET features and techniques
  • SQL Server and OLEDB, as well as ODBC .NET Data Providers
  • Using Visual Studio .NET Data Projects for managing SQL Scripts
  • Integrating XML with ADO.NET
  • Developing Web-based database applications with ASP.NET
  • Web services and middle-tier objects

    Database Access with Visual Basic® .NET, Third Edition, equips VB developers with the knowledge and skills needed to build a powerful new generation of database applications in less time using .NET technologies.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One to have, 4 Jul 1999
    By A Customer
    If there is one book that I, as a professional developer recommend that anyone interested in VB, let alone data-access should have, it is this one. The book is extremely well structured, very readable, packed with examples and above all, a true developer handbook. You'll find what you want in here, from SQL and DAO to ADO and OLE. Great bit on class programming too. I know the new edition is out but sometimes you do not always work on the best platforms as a developer. You need a reference - I've got another 3 or 4 for VB and they do not cut it compared to this. If there is a slight detraction, it is the extensive coverage of 3rd party controls...I seldom bother with CD-demos, they're already out of date. However, as important as the book is Jeff's accessibility, he's never failed to answer an E-mail (except when I mentioned Kenneth Copeland) on a technical query and also runs a good web-site.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A thorough tutorial but some codes don't seem to work., 13 Jun 1999
    By A Customer
    McManus does a great job in explaining many VB and database concepts. I'm also particularly greatful for the fact that this book focuses more on Microsoft Access, instead of some other database application. :-)

    I am, however, pretty frustrated by some of his SQL and VB codes that don't seem to work. For example, he tells us in chapter 3 to make the following declaration in VB :

    Dim db As Database

    I typed this into VB 5.0, and I got an error. I'm particularly frustrated given the fact that I can't move on with the chapter unless I can figure out what's going on because most of his codes that follow in this chapter needs this declaration. So right now I'm pretty disappointed.

    I really think it would be courteous of McManus to give his readers his e-mail address so we can contact him when we have problems with his book.

    P.S. If you're a VB geek and have purchased this book, please kindly lend this college boy some help on these problems. :-)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Trust me, this is the best investment for your future., 16 May 1999
    By A Customer
    This is the book I have found the most helpful and practical. I found the example is so easy to follow. One of the most strucking point of this book is efficiency. You learned a lot in the shortest time.
