Ado Activex Data Objects

The architecture of ADO (ActiveX Data Objects), Microsoft's newest form of database communication, is simple, concise, and efficient. This indispensable reference takes a comprehensive look at every object, collection, method, and property of ADO for developers who want to get a leg up on this technology.

Getting data across platforms and formats is a cornerstone of present-day applications development. ADO: ActiveX Data Objects is both an introduction and a complete reference to ADO (ActiveX Data Objects), Microsoft's universal data access solution. You'll learn how to easily access data in multiple formats--such as email messages, Access databases, Word documents, and SQL databases--even on different platforms, without spending extra time learning every last detail about each format.Author Jason Roff shows by example how to use ADO with your programming language of choice to save programming time, so you can concentrate on the content and quality of your application rather than the nitty-gritty of specific data formats.ADO: ActiveX Data Objects includes: Chapters dedicated to the Connection, Recordset, Field, and Command objects and the Properties collection A complete, detailed reference listing every ADO object, method, property, and event, in convenient alphabetical order Chapters on ADO architecture, data shaping, the ADO Event Model An appendix containing enumeration tables used by ADO objects and collections, listed alphabetically Brief introductions to RDS, ADO.NET, and SQL ADO: ActiveX Data Objects is a versatile one-stop guide to both the theory and practice of programming with ADO through Version 2.6. The thorough reference section and topic-specific chapters will help you find quick answers about the details of objects, collections, methods, and properties of ADO. And the abundance of practical code examples will give you a good grasp of how to use ADO's strong points most effectively.

For programmers who prefer content to frills, this guide has succinct and straightforward information for putting Access to its full, individually tailored use.

A Programmer's Guide to ADO.NET in C# begins by taking readers through a fast-paced overview of C# and then delves into ADO.NET. Why should C# programmers use it instead of the existing technologies? What new functionality does it offer? The chapters that follow go through the details on each of the major Data Providers of the .NET platform (OleDb, SQL Server, and ODBC) that enable you to read and write data to the targeted database. These chapters also serve as a good reference for looking up detailed methods and properties for these data provider classes. Authors Chand and Gold also show C# programmers how to work with XML classes and how to integrate XML into the ADO.NET architecture. The book provides programmers with handy ideas about taking advantage of the VS.NET IDE and how you can tie your data to the myriad of powerful controls including the multi-faceted Data Grid. Finally, it goes through creating a guest book application for the Web so you can see how all the pieces fit together.

Demonstrates how to use the Python programming language (an object- oriented scripting language) as a development and administrations tool for Win32. Focused on tasks rather than programming (although a brief tutorial is provided) the authors cover how Python works on Windows; the key integration technologies supported by Python on Windows; and examples of what Python can do with databases, email, Internet protocols, NT services, communications, and other areas.
