Features: With the development of the .NET Framework and the release of the C# language, the industry has been swept by a new wave of application development. This book introduces the knowledge required to develop powerful data-centric applications using C#. To this end, we extensively cover the exciting new features of ADO.NET, which enable efficient data access and manipulation, as well as the XML processing capabilities of the .NET Framework. Data-centric applications can be implemented using various data sources and multiple data transmission methods, so we also discuss other topics, such as using ADO in C#, publishing Service messages, and working with the registry and Active Directory. These topics are presented through numerous case studies, one of which demonstrates how to migrate a Visual Basic application to a C# application. Readers of this book should be familiar with the C# language, RDBMS concepts, and SQL, and hope to consolidate their knowledge of the .NET Framework to develop data-centric .NET applications.
