Visual Basic Net And Database

Visual Basic.NET Database Programming walks the readers step-by-step through the topics they need to know to use databases effectively. This book teaches with real-world scenarios how to load, display, manipulate, modify and save data in databases. It shows the reader how to build multi-tier applications that implement enterprise-wide business solutions, build Web Servers, manage large amounts of data, find specific records, sort data, perform complex queries, and use XML--an integral part of data handling in Visual Basic.NET.

What is this book about? For a web site to offer its users an experience that improves on that of newspapers or textbooks, it needs a way to change the information it contains dynamically - and that means it needs access to a data source. Through the combination of ASP.NET and ADO.NET, Microsoft provides everything necessary to access, read from, and write to a database, and then allow web users to view and manipulate that data from a web browser. In this book, we'll show you how it's done. What does this book cover? Packed with clear explanations and hands-on examples, Beginning ASP.NET Databases contains everything you'll need on your journey to becoming a confident, successful programmer of data-driven web sites. In particular, we'll look at: Connecting to common data sources, including SQL Server and MS Access Reading data with data reader and dataset objects Creating and deleting records, and editing data Displaying data with ASP.NET's web server controls Writing and using stored procedures from VB.NET code Placing your data access code in reusable class libraries The book closes with a real-world case study that consolidates the tutorials throughout the book into a practical result. Who is this book for? To use this book, you need a computer running either Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition. The examples it contains will not run on Windows XP Home Edition. This book is for people who have some experience of programming ASP.NET with Visual Basic .NET, are familiar with the operation of the .NET Framework, and want to learn how to use ASP.NET to make data-centric web applications. No prior knowledge of database programming is necessary.

Almost all applications have to deal with data access in some way or another. This book will teach you how to build Visual Basic .NET applications that make effective use of databases. Visual Basic .NET is the latest version of the most widely used programming language in the world, popular with professional developers and beginners alike.

Enter a New World of Database Programming Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET facilitate the development of a new generation of database applications, including disconnected applications that run on the Web. Mastering Visual Basic .NET Database Programming is the resource you need to thrive in this new world. Assuming no prior experience with database programming, this book teaches you every aspect of the craft, from GUI design to server development to middle-tier implementation. If you're familiar with earlier versions of ADO, you'll master the many new features of ADO.NET all the more quickly. You'll also learn the importance of XML within the new .NET paradigm. Coverage includes: Getting familiar with the ADO.NET object model Using the data access wizards Taking advantage of new SQL Server 2000 features Carrying out XSL Transformations and XPath queries Generating XML using the T-SQL FOR XML statement Binding controls to ADO.NET result sets Arriving at a sound database design Tuning your SQL Server 2000 database Using the XML Designer in Visual Studio .NET Leveraging the data access tools available in the Visual Studio .NET IDE Working with .NET data providers Choosing between streaming data and caching data Working with the Data Form Wizard in Visual Studio .NET Using advanced ADO.NET techniques Building a threaded application Using .NET's advanced exception handling capabilities Using the .NET Deployment Project Template Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

The topic combination of VB .NET and ADO.NET is unbeatable. VB .NET is the most popular language in which to code. And, every developer needs to understand ADO.NET to allow data to be accessed from a Web site. In this book Developers will be shown numerouse code examples that will illustrate how to program database driven applications within the .NET Framework. The book is aimed at both established and new VB Developers. Important topics covered include: Visual Studio development environment, ASP.NET applications, Windows Forms application, using VB .NET with ADO.NET, complex queries, security, COM interop., and application deployment.

Non-VB programmers are shown how they can have the same database ease that Visual Basic programmers have: step-by-step coverage of data access in Visual Studio .NET, with example code in C#.

Whether you are using WinForms, WebForms, or Web Services, Database Access with Visual Basic� .NET, Third Edition , is your practical guide to developing database applications with Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET. The authors provide real-world solutions to the data-access issues Visual Basic .NET developers face every day and share their secrets for becoming a more effective database programmer using .NET technologies. The book begins by reviewing the fundamentals of database development, Structured Query Language (SQL), and Microsoft SQL Server(tm) 2000. It then examines how to use the major ADO.NET objects to access data stored in relational databases. Through detailed examples, readers learn how to use properties and methods, as well as more advanced features and techniques. Extensive code listings in Visual Basic .NET illustrate each concept, while business cases apply concepts to real-world applications. The final chapters provide a solid examination of how XML and ASP.NET integrate with ADO.NET to create various types of database applications. A companion Web site provides the code used in the book's myriad examples, all of which is compatible with Visual Basic .NET 2003. Key topic coverage includes: SQL queries and commands Using SQL Server 2000 ADO.NET objects Advanced ADO.NET features and techniques SQL Server and OLEDB, as well as ODBC .NET Data Providers Using Visual Studio .NET Data Projects for managing SQL Scripts Integrating XML with ADO.NET Developing Web-based database applications with ASP.NET Web services and middle-tier objects Database Access with Visual Basic� .NET, Third Edition , equips VB developers with the knowledge and skills needed to build a powerful new generation of database applications in less time using .NET technologies. 0672323435B01092003
