September 05, 2003: I am a veteran Visual Basic developer and I think this is one of the most comprehensive book on ADO.NET technology out there. Book covers topics that are rarely found in MSDN or other books. Authors not only cover ADO.NET architecture in depth, they also show how to deal with real world problems. I highly recommed this book for any developer who is writing VB.NET applications or moving from VB6 to .NET. Cheers! Duncan

March 19, 2003: I just got my hands on this title and couldn't believe that author already covers the latest additions to ADO.NET. This book is wrtten using Visual Studio .NET 2003 which means I dont have to buy another book for next couple of years. I also noticed detailed discussion on Windows Data-Bound Controls and ASP.NET Server Data Bound Controls which you don't find in many of the book. This book shows you how to use most of the Windows Controls in data binding such as TextBox, CheckBox, ComboBox, ListBox, DataGrid and others. I give it a 5 stars. Hope it helps other guys.
