Book?

[Fred]

Looking for a good C# ADO.net book. Any suggestions?

Bill Vaughn's book is great and he has a link to the C# version....David
Sceppa's ADO.NET core reference is also a must have, with examples in both
languages. Rebecca Riordan has a Step By Step book with both languages as
well.

Cheers,

Bill

I would not really recommend the Step by Step book by Rebecca Riordan unless
you have Visual Studio Professional. Also this book has coding errors
throughout. I found this out after the fact. It does however have a couple
of good things in it and I have learned some from it.

Fred,
One of my very favorite books is Professional ADO.Net
Programming from Wrox Press. The code is mostly C#, but
the ADO object model is the same regardless of language
and the syntax differences would not affect the subject
matter. At work I deal almost exclusively with database
programming and this book has been a valuable reference
and good learning tool.

David Sceppa's ADO.NET core reference is a must have.
Extremely well written.
You will learn *everything* about ADO.Net here.

The Riordan Step By Step book didn't meet my expectations. I was able
to get some good info out of it but it was less well-edited and
proofread than it could have been. Also, the way it repeats each
example including the illustrations and "Press F5 to run the program"
for each example means it uses far more paper and ink than necessary.

Does it have good examples in C#? And I am looking for a reference for both
Access and SQL 2000.

Thanks

Every single example is in both VB and C#.

I think it is mostly SQL Server but has some comments for Access and Oracle.
(The concepts are mostly the same anyway!)
