Summary

This chapter briefly introduced the Microsoft .NET Framework and its ADO.NET component. I also listed the key components and features of the ADO.NET component:

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a development and runtime environment that promises ease of development and stronger Internet applications, based upon its ability to abstract COM details.
ADO.NET is the .NET Framework’s replacement for ADO. ADO.NET maintains in memory a copy of data in use, allowing disconnected access to a data source -- ideal for today’s web applications.
Some of the features of ADO.NET include the ability to work disconnected data, promotion of a strongly typed language, and XML integration.
