This chapter introduced you to the basics of programming ADO.NET, which is your database programming interface from VBE and VWDE. In addition to teaching you about ADO.NET classes, the chapter demonstrated how to use ADO.NET classes to perform many traditional kinds of database chores. You learned how to use ADO.NET to retrieve data from a database and manipulate data in a database. You also focused on using ADO.NET in coordination with Windows and Web Forms— especially Windows Forms.

The next chapter will add to this discussion by describing DataAdapter and DataSet objects. These objects allow you to work with the data from a database on the client side and give you a rich set of functions to do so.

This chapter continued with our discussion of ADO.NET and introduced the DataAdapter and DataSet objects. It closed with a sample reviewing how to use the SqlBulkCopy class to transfer data from an external data source, such as Excel, to a database, such as SSE.

This chapter introduced you to rapid application database development techniques for use with VBE and VWDE. The introduction to Database Explorer showed you how to use this powerful visual database tool to add database connections to a project, examine and modify the data in a project, and revise or add database objects in a project. Step-by-step instructions and numerous screen shots demonstrated how to use visual database tools and graphical form development techniques. Rich graphical techniques were demonstrated for presenting data, looking up data, and modifying data. You saw the use of graphical development tools with both VBE and VWDE.
