Dear friends

I have installed visual basic 2005 beta 2 and sqlexpress 2005 and by video
tutorial downloaded from visual basic express site I have created a very
simple database application.

This tutorial create database application utilizing IDE Wizard, instead I
would learn
to created it by program in VB.NET language.

1)Do you know the existance of free tutorial or book on ADO.NET 2.0?

2)Is SQLServer 2005 Online book good for my pourpose?

3)Is an old ADO.NET book good or ADO.NET 2.0 is very different

Here is an article on ADO.NET 2.0 that highlights important differences,
with mention of a free ebook:

It's as tough to write about ADO.NET 2.0 as it is to document a moving
train. Notice that Mike's article has a "corrections" section at the bottom.
Until very recently, the features being added and removed made it hard to
adequately detail what it does or does not do. I'll be giving an in-depth
workshop on ADO.NET 2.0 in Orlando (if it's still there) at VSLive.

Even though they are direct competitors to my books, Sahil's ADO.NET 2.0
book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590595122/qid=1125512352/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-7381964-2224821?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
is out shortly and is worth it's weight in gold.

Alex's book is out right now
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0321247124/qid=1125512352/sr=8-3/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-7381964-2224821?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
and as long as you get the second version (the only linked above) it's a
true gem too. The original one is great but it has coverage of many
deprecated features taht were taken off the block after he wrote the book.

Our book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764584375/qid=1125512469/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-7381964-2224821?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
will be great too but it won't be out for a while.

Sahil Malik's blog, http://codebetter.com/blogs/sahil.malik/, mine,
www.msmvps.com/WilliamRyan, my section on www.knowdotnet.com and Julia
Lerman's blog http://www.thedatafarm.com/blog/ all cover ADO.NET 2.0 .

The ADO.NET 2.0 Guys have a lot of great info but right now I think they're
pretty busy with getting the 2.0 stuff released but there's definitely a ton
of good stuff with Angel and Sushil's blogs too.
