ADO.NET revolutionized the way data was accessed through SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. With Microsoft's release of ADO.NET 2, ADO and the .NET Framework are integrated with SQL Server for the first time-enabling you to program .NET applications directly within the SQL Server database. Packed with sample code and recommended best practices for using ADO.NET 2, this code-intensive book explores the new data types that are available in the 2.0 Framework and discusses the appropriate time and way to use them. You'll learn how to make repetitive, mundane tasks much simpler and you'll walk away with a solid foundation for developing database-driven applications. What you will learn from this book The basics of creating a connection, executing a query, and returning a result Best uses for Oracle in the ADO.NET Framework The many new features that are available for XML How to use the full text search capabilities of Microsoft(r) SQL Server 2005 Methods for retrieving data and presenting it in various ways Why MySQL is a viable option for data storage Who this book is for This book is for experienced database developers who want to learn the latest release of ADO.NET 2.0. Knowledge of ADO.NET 1.0, general .NET development, and Microsoft SQL Server is necessary.

All sample program projects can be run in the most updated version, Visual Basic.NET 2019 with Visual Studio.NET 2019. Written in an accessible, down-to-earth style, the author explains how to build a sample database using the SQL Server management system and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2018. The latest version of ASP.NET, ASP.NET 4.7, is also discussed to provide the most up-to-date Web database programming technologies. This important book: • Offers illustrative practical examples and detailed descriptions to aid in comprehension of the material presented • Includes both fundamental and advanced database programming techniques • Integrates images into associated database tables using a DevExpress UI tools - WindowsUI Written for graduate and senior undergraduate students studying database implementations and programming courses, SQL Server Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET shows how to develop professional and practical database programs in Visual Basic.NET 2017/Visual Basic.NET 2019.
Unlike most other database programming books, which discuss and present database programming techniques through huge blocks of programming code, this book uses a unique writing style to show readers how to develop professional and practical database programs using Visual Basic.NET 2005 Design Tools and Wizards related to ADO.NET 2.0, and to apply codes that are auto-generated by using Wizards. Avoiding overly large blocks of code, the book shows a simple and easy way to create database programs and enable the reader to build professional and practical databases more efficiently. In addition to Design Tools and Wizards, the runtime object method is also discussed and analyzed to allow users to design and implement more sophisticated data-driven applications with complicated coding techniques. Three popular database systems - Microsoft Access, SQL Server 2005, and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (XE) - are discussed in detail, with practical examples and sample projects. This book will attract college students, programmers, and software engineers alike. Sample code and additional exercise questions for students, as well as solutions and lecture slides for instructors are available via the web (www.cambridge.org/9780521712354).
