Visual Studio is the only suitable environment for professional development of .NET 1.1, and it is just about the only choice for developers in Microsoft technology. It is a complex and feature-rich vehicle mainly for C#, VB .NET, and web development, and drawing out its full potential can be a challenge for novice and professional programmers alike. Pro Visual Studio .NET reveals and demystifies Visual Studio to enable programmers to do their job more quickly and with fewer errors. The authors of this book are all well known in each field of .NET development, and offer their hands-on experience of making the tool work in the real world. They'll show you how to tweak this environment to get the very best out of it, and you'll learn by seeing practical tasks put into, and through Studio, to get the best results.

No matter what programs you develop, there always exists a bottom line: you must know how to access and manipulate data. While data can be stored in many places, large quantities of frequently accessed data must be structured appropriately in relational databases like SQL Server. Meanwhile, data access in .NET is achieved through the ADO.NET classes - which essentially replace ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), combining ADO-style ease with the power of XML.Like an easy-to-read ADO.NET tutorial, this book will enhance your understanding of databases. The text reaches out to you, the intermediate-level C# programmer, by explaining data access with heavy reliance on C#. This book's ultimate goal: to marry its content with your existing code knowledge base.
