Hello Sahil,
Thanks a lot for your tip. I will concentrate on the online material for
now then. I do have Professional C# from wrox press and it seems to be fine
for C# at the moment, but like most general C# books it has only got 2
chapters for ADO.net which does not cover much, so will look for ADO.net
book in a months time.
Thanks a lot for your response.
Imran.
