Database Access with Visual Basic .NET continues to use techniques developed by Jeffrey McManus that provide solutions to problems faced by developers every day. Since data access is the most used feature in corporate development, it is important for developers to understand the most effective and efficient way to access data using .NET technologies. This book provides clear explanations of how to use ADO.NET to access data stored in relational databases, as well as how XML integrates with ADO.NET. The authors use their years of experience to relate key topics to real-world applications through use of Business Cases that include code listings in Visual Basic .NET.

The purpose of this book is to show you how to develop database applications, using Visual Basic.NET and ADO.NET. Even though we expect that most readers will be working with SQL Server, we do not assume that they are experienced with it. You may be new to database applications or only have experience with other databases such as Microsoft Access or Oracle. We have therefore included a hefty overview of Microsoft SQL Server in Chapter 3. If you are experienced with SQL Server, you may want to skip this chapter. However, it covers a wide variety of topics, and you may still find a "nugget" or two that would make reading the chapter worthwhile.

We assume that you are already familiar with Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). Although we give step-by-step coding instructions and code examples, we do not cover VB.NET syntax in this book. We assume that you are reasonably comfortable with VB.NET and Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET) and do not waste your time reviewing fundamental concepts. For example, we do not normally step through basic tasks, such as opening and saving project files, except maybe the first time you encounter them. We do, however, often show how to do the same thing in several different ways—we hope that this will extend your knowledge of VB.NET, without rehashing the basics. You may also notice variant coding styles, and even screen shots on different versions of Windows—all illustrating the flexibility of VB.NET.
