Don't forget that as Microsoft have moved to new premises, so has the User Group. Need a Map?

This month - Advanced ADO and ADO.Net

Catapult your working knowledge of ADO through this intensive session packed full of key features. To name a few:

• Executing a stored procedure
• Utilising prepared statements
• Returning multiple result sets to a single Recordset object
• Using ADO to support complex cursors, including batch, client and server side cursors
• Using batch updating
• Generating multiple result sets
• Working with Persistent Recordsets
• Asynchronous Operations
• Using ADOx for Data Definition Language (DDL) operations
  

ADO.Net is a big step away from ADO, but is it a step forward? It is pretty cool, but it's going to take some work implementing it into your applications.

One great feature is that ADO.Net has been designed to work with disconnected data sets. This is great for your applications as disconnected data sets are faster to process and transmit.

Adam Cogan will lead you step-by-step through the "How To's" of implementing ADO.Net.
