What Does This Book Cover?
Visual Basic .NET is tightly coupled to very comprehensive and flexible data access technologies, so the
potential range of things that might fall under the title of this book is huge. Rather than trying to cover
too much, we have concentrated on providing a detailed introduction to the following strands:
? Basic database design principles.
? The SQL Server Desktop Engine.
? Querying the database using T-SQL.
? Using Visual Studio .NET's Server Explorer to run queries, views, stored procedures, etc.
? ADO.NET and the DataSet object.
? Reading data into the DataSet, binding it to a control on the user interface, changing data in
the DataSet, and saving those changes back in the underlying database.
? XML's role in ADO.NET.
? Internet database applications using Web Forms and Web Services.
