November 29, 2009: Wow, this is the book I was looking for! David Sceppa did a great job on this book. Programming Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0 is very easy to understand and has a lot of code samples that I can use in my production environment. I learned how to loop through data using ado.net and inserting, updating, and deleting using stored procedures with ado.net. On page four-hundred fifty three came in handy "Submitting Updates Using Parameterized SqlCommands". I love the way it shows you in VB and C Sharp. The book also talks about xml documents which is very helpful too in my case. The book is for reference only I would recomend the book to beginners and advanced users. Most of the samples here use SQL Server Express edition which is free to download at the microsoft site. If you are looking to learn t-sql also this is not the book for you. You will need to buy a t-sql book. Thank you David Sceppa and Microsoft Press I am very impressed with this book.
