ADO.NET Is this current technology?

[Guest]

I'm sorry if this is a retarded question. I have a book on "Database Access
with Visual Basic.NET" that I was going to use to build web pages using
visual studio that will communicate with my sql server. I'm just wondering,
is ADO the best way to write the code behind to execute my sprocs etc? If so,
I'll dive into this book. If not, can someone give me some key words to start
investigating? Thanks!!

ADO.NET refers to the set of classes that allow you to perform actions on a
database. So pretty much no matter what you do will involve ADO.NET if you
are going to be working with a database.

Mike,

By writing this message you show direct the confusion.

ADO is a complete different technique than ADO.NET

I have no other explanation for the name ADO.NET than that it is made by a
marketing person and assume that I than have to say nothing more about that
to you as user.
