Chapter 12. The Microsoft .NET Framework and ADO.NET

At the Professional Developer’s Conference 2000, Microsoft announced a new development platform called the .NET Framework. One of the components of the new .NET Framework is ADO.NET, Microsoft’s successor to ADO. In this chapter, I will provide a brief introduction to the .NET Framework and ADO.NET’s place within it. For more information on .NET, see http://msdn.microsoft.com, as well as C# Essentials (O’Reilly, 2001) and the upcoming .NET Framework Essentials (O’Reilly, 2001).
