Introduction to ADO.

NET
Jenny Chang Student Ambassador to Microsoft CSU Los Angeles

Agenda

Introduce you to ADO.NET Describe the connected layer of ADO.NET as implemented by .NET data providers Describe the disconnected layer of ADO.NET as implemented by the DataSet Demonstrate integration of ADO.NET within Visual Studio

Why ADO.NET?

ADO works great, but

Requires COM and Windows Recordsets dont travel well across the Internet Connected behavior is hard to work with
Uses XML under the covers for all data transport XML has no runtime/transport requirements No special code required to marshal across the Internet All data access disconnected All data transport uses XML

ADO.NET solves these problems


ADO.NET requires new mindset


What Is ADO .NET?

ADO.NET is a collection of classes, interfaces, structures, and enumerated types that manage data access from relational data stores within the .NET Framework

These collections are organized into namespaces: System.Data, System.Data.OleDb, System.Data.SqlClient, etc. Does not share the same object model, but shares many of the same paradigms and functionality!

ADO.NET is an evolution from ADO.

Connected Or Disconnected?
System.Data
DataSet,

namespace contains disconnected set of objects


DataTable, DataRow, and so on

Specific

namespaces (System.Data.OleDb and System.Data.SqlClient) contain connected objects


SqlDataAdapter/OleDbDataAdapter SqlConnection/OleDbConnection SqlDataReader/OleDbDataReader

Connected Or Disconnected?

With ADO, a fundamental question is: Where is the data managed?


On the client? On the server? A mixture of the two?

The answer in ADO it depends on the cursor you are using. With ADO.NET:

Data is always on the client (via DataSet) or on its way to the client (via IDataReader)

Connection

Connects to data source Executes SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE commands Forward-only, read-only stream of data

Command

Data Reader

Data Adapter

Connects a DataSet to a data source

Working With Data

If you need full data access, use DataAdapter object (SQLDataAdapter, OleDbDataAdapter) DataAdapter represents a set of data commands and a database connection

Fills a DataSet (using Fill method) Updates data (using Update method)

Working With Data

Use Fill method to fill the DataSet


DataSet provides local cache for disconnected data All data marshaled as XML

Make changes in cached data Use Update method to write changes from cached data back to data source

Getting Data Into A DataSet

DataAdapter has four Command properties


SelectCommand/DeleteCommand InsertCommand/UpdateCommand Each property contains a Command object

DataAdapter uses these Command objects for selecting, updating, and so on

Call the Update method to change data

Call the Fill method to execute the SelectCommand

Fills a DataSet

DataSet Object

Relational views of data

DataSet Tables Table Columns Column Constraints


Constraint

Contains tables, columns, rows, constraints, views, and relations

Disconnected model

Has no knowledge of data source Array-like indexing Strong typing Supports data binding

Rows Row Relations Relation

Summary

ADO.NET provides a rich API for working with data ADO.NET has been designed to support legacy architectures as well as Internet-enabled, n-tier designs The .NET Frameworks extensive XML support means greater reach for all of your data-enabled applications
