Synopsis
FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW to my earlier book, ADO Examples and Best Practices, it was originally written as an update to my popular Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Basic and SQL Server, Sixth Edition. Happily, the first edition of ADO Examples and Best Practices received glowing praise from a variety of reviewers, trainers, and devel opers allover the world. The first edition was not designed as a tutorial on basic ADO; it assumed you had at least some experience with ADO (there are lots of elementary ADO books). In contrast, the Visual Basic version of this new edition adds quite a bit more introductory material to fill in some of the spaces not covered by the introductory books. It also leads the way for developers contem plating the process of converting existing COM -based ADO code to ADO. NET. ADo. NET and ADO Examples and Best Practices for VB Programmers, Second Edition, focuses on ways to make your applications more efficient and at the same time help you write more efficient code in less time. These efficiencies can make the difference between a successful application (or component orWeb page) and having to spend your weekends fixing its problems. It's been several years since the first edition was published and what Microsoft was going to call "Visual Basic 7. 0" is still not released to manufac turing-and it's probably never going to be."

Synopsis
The onset of the new .NET technology forces developers to completely rethink their data access strategies, as there is a new language and a new set of data access interfaces to learn and incorporate into designs. The purpose of this book is to make the choice and implementation of the best of those technologies far easier. It does this through working examples and numerous discussions of what works and what doesn't.
