Product Description:
Are you hesitant to migrate to Visual Studio(r) 2005? Maybe you're ready to upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 but feel a bit overwhelmed by ADO.NET 2.0 and the Visual Data Tools of this new release. In this hands-on guide, I'll share with you the best practices, the latest features, and advanced data management techniques with Visual Basic 2005 and SQL Server or SQL Server Express 2005. Plus, I'll incorporate simple to moderately complex project examples that feature real-world, database front-end applications with Windows and Web forms.

First, I'll begin with ADO.NET 2.0 basics, then I'll move on to designing and programming smart clients with typed DataSets as their data sources. Gradually, I'll walk you through using DataSource, GridView, and DetailsView Web controls. Finally, I'll demonstrate how to take advantage of the new T-SQL extensions, in-process Web services, and notifications.

What you will learn from this book
  • How to build usable Windows(r) and Web forms from a sample database in less than five minutes-without writing a line of code
  • Effective writing of data validation code for bound text boxes and DataGridViews
  • Ways to apply advanced ASP.NET 2.0 data techniques
  • The process of creating and deploying VB 2005 SQL CLR projects

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pretty good; but he's done better
I snatched this book up as soon as I saw it. I have three other of Roger Jennings' database books and they are great.

This one was a little disappointing. It has good information in it and it is informative. But, percentage-wise at least, it seems to contain a lot more filler, like unneeded code. The style of writing seems so different from his other books that I wonder how much of the actual writing Mr. Jennings did himself.

It's definitely not a bad book. Overall it was ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Todo
Excelente libro, le agregaria algun truquito mas, pero esta todo, sirve como para arrancar y profundizar en los temas. Muy buena guia.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wish I had this book a month ago.
Having this book a month ago would have saved me at least $1000. Which is about how much I had to pay someone to write code that this book clearly points out was already written and available by Microsoft.

That's the bottom line. This book is a time and money saver for anyone writing VB 2005 code that uses a database.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not perfect but a lot better then a lot of the others
This book does a better job of explaining what happens behind the vs2005 data object wizzards then many of the other books that just show you how to use them.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Practical information - unbelievably good
I bought this book even though I am a C# coder. Roger has such great concepts on how to do design and coding that I almost shouted for joy after searching and reading other books (e.g S. Malik which is of little or no value). This book goes beyond my production code needs and is invaluable in doing it right the first time. Thanks Roger for the section on concurrency exceptions which we all have in the real world. Most folks sweep this under the rug because it takes a real pro to fully and accurately ... Read More
