Another ADO.NET Book
Finally finished reading another ADO.NET book. (I've been trying to read all the notable ones).
“ADO.NET Examples and Best Practices for C# Programmers” by Bill Vaughn (with Peter Blackburn). ISBN 1-59059-012-054995 on A-Press.
Bill always writes well. This book though is now showing its age. It was written for the framework 1.0 and so is at the stage before things like the ODBC managed provider had appeared. The coverage of ADO.NET isn't bad. It's largely based on a comparison with ADO, which Bill calls ADOc (for COM). We differ a bit on a few recommendations like typed dataset usage and aspects of DataReaders like the use of GetOrdinal but overall, it was ok.
Hopefully, Bill will have an updated version out soon. With the number of detailed questions I've seen him asking on ADO.NETv2 newsgroups, I presume that's coming :-)
