  • About Microsoft

    Microsoft has had an impact on, and indeed defined the computing world like no other company. The development tools, operating systems and applications produced by Microsoft have achieved near-ubiquity in the desktop computer market. The original mission set by Microsoft's founder was to have "a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software". About 90% of computer users worldwide run Microsoft products, hence this objective has largely been met. For operating systems, Web client statistics suggest that Microsoft Windows has about a 92% share, Apple Mac OS 6% and Linux, 1%.

Course Outline

This three-day intensive ADO.NET Using C# training class teaches the essential elements of ADO.NET such that at the end of the course the programmer is able to utilize its tremendous database manipulation powers to build effective database applications. The course includes a major case study demonstrating the use of ADO.NET in a realistic setting. It is current to .NET 4.6, Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2014.

The course opens with an overview of ADO.NET and its relation to previous Microsoft data access technologies. It includes a discussion of ADO.NET architecture, main interfaces and classes, and programming with both the connected and disconnected models. The database for the case study is introduced.

The next two chapters cover in detail Connection and Command objects, which are essential in both connected and disconnected database access scenarios. The following chapter covers DataReaders, which provide a fast, forward-only reading capability. Programming with DataReaders bears a close resemblance to programming with the vintage recordset object.

Then the course focuses on the backbone of ADO.NET: DataSet and its related classes, such as DataAdapter, DataTable, DataRow, DataColumn, DataRelation, TableMappings and ColumnMappings. DataSet is able to handle multiple tables while remaining disconnected. It is eminently suited for building highly scalable applications for the Web. The close relationship between ADO.NET and XML is covered in detail. Transactions and concurrency are covered.

  • Understand the architecture and main classes of ADO.NET.
  • Gain fluency in programming ADO.NET using C#.
  • Gain a thorough understanding of the use of disconnected DataSets for building highly scalable applications.
  • Acquire a working knowledge of the tight coupling of XML with ADO.NET.
  • Learn how to use additional features in ADO.NET, including asynchronous operations, multiple active result sets, and bulk copy.
  • Acquire a working knowledge of LINQ and the Entity Framework.
  • Implement a realistic case study that ties together many concepts of ADO.NET in a practical demonstration.
  • Basic knowledge of SQL and of programming the .NET Framework using C#.
  • Understanding of the fundamentals of XML.
  • Ability to write simple Windows Forms applications. .
  • A working knowledge of SQL Server is also desirable.
