    New to ADO.NET help

    I am new to the entire .NET enviroment, and need some guidance.
    I understand how to use ADO in VB6 and regular ASP. When I try to find any help in the MSDN for .NET it keeps talking about datasets and such. I was wondering...
    Is the old way of doing ADO obsolete in .NET?
    Is the coding similar, but no external references, and new names?
    Help please.

    You still can use ADO in .NET but find me one who recommends that .

    ADO.NET is almost restructured . It has disconnect capabilities to represent data . It became easier , more stable , more sensible ..etc .The names of the methods are quite different (if I still remember Old ADO)

    I can't write a book , right now ...

    Hi,


    Yes ADO.NET is an entirely different approach to database access, but you will soon recognise what is happening. If you want to you can continue useing ADO and that might be your simplest course of action while you are grappling with other .NET principles. I discarded ADO completely when I went to .NET and found myself unable to access my databases for some time (due to my lack of understanding ) I think I would have made faster progress all round if I had not tried to immediately cope with ADO.NET.

    I was afraid of that (but I am not afraid of learning either)...

    Do you know of any good threads, or any sites I should visit to help me understand the new terminology and concepts?

    Hi,

    The MSDN Help references are excellent on this subject. You have to go through several articles, but it is well worth it. Try out what you learn and post problems on this forum.

    For once, it looks like the MSDN library is clear about the usage of something...

    Thank you for the guidance
