You've probably heard, "In the .NET world, if you need data access, just use ADO.NET". Hmmm...ADO.NET, just a maturation of ADO? Hardly. ADO.NET is a completely different paradigm in data access and manipulation. Understanding when to use this new disconnected model or the higher performing connected model Is the challenge of ADO.NET Whether you are new to database development or are an old ADO user, you will need to understand why ADO.NET was written. This is not your father's ADO.

Don't believe the rumors. ADO.NET does not have to be that difficult. Shawn Wildermuth will be teaching you the secrets fo getting the most out of ADO.NET in the fewest keystrokes possible. Everything from how to correctly use connection pooling to the magic tricks of the Data Designers.
As the newness of .NET wears off, application developers must move past the “how to” of data access development and start considering the best ways to get things done. In this session, we’ll do just that, starting with an intelligent approach to the DataSet vs. DataReader question followed by discussion of more specialized issues like connection pooling, transactions, handling multiple result sets, and the finer points of typed datasets.
