Product Description This is likely to be the one ADO.NET book that stays next to my desk for quick reference. — Dennis Hayes, Dot Net Developer's Journal (Pro ADO.NET 2.0) stands head and shoulders above its competition. — Thomas Wagner, wagnerblog.com (Sahil Malik) covers stuff that real developers are confronted with over and over everday. He intentionally focuses on problem areas and how to address them. (And) the absolute best thing about this book is it's readability. — Bill Ryan, Bill's House O Insomnia Pro ADO.NET 2.0 is a guide and reference for.NET developers who are looking to further their understanding of ADO.NET 2.0. This book takes a new approach, focusing on the practical tasks like connecting to the database, retrieving data, and working with transactions, rather than rehashing much of the MSDN documentation. Pro ADO.NET 2.0 offers the deep and much needed practical understanding, viewpoint, and knowledge developers are looking for. This book explains what is available in ADO.NET by associating it with the need to solve a practical problem and better architect an application, rather than mugging up the hundreds of classes and properties available in the framework.

Example:
From author-->"Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True"
Doesn't work for me!!!
Solution:
"Data Source=(local)\\SqlExpress;Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True"
Why "\\" instead of "\"?
Because in Visual Studio 2008, it generates an error saying-->"Unrecognized escape sequence"
Just little small detail but other than that, it's a good book for the subject. Excellent coverage of ADO.NET 2.0, good examples,

I am an experienced .NET developer, so I was looking for something that was intelligently written, with good real-world example code snippets that can be plugged directly into apps.
Any good programmer tends to develop a consistent pattern of code for a particular task, so I personally like books that are written by such a developer who has worked with the technology long enough to have developed a good pattern of use. Mr. Malik would fit that description.
Another thing I liked about the book is that it does not spend a lot of time on non-ADO.NET topics, so you don't have to skip through a bunch of fluff chapters to get to the topic at hand. Every chapter is relevant and useful.
After reading his book, I subscribed to the author's blog, which also includes some very useful material.  Too many unnecessary analogy,

July 04, 2006 This is truly the only book you will need to understand ADO.NET. It's not a reference, but that's what we have online help for.
