Introduction to
ADO.NET
Introduction to ADO.NET

 Is a model used by Visual Basic .NET applications to

communicate with a database for retrieving,
accessing, and updating data.

 Uses a structured process flow to interact with a

database
Feature of
ADO.NET
Features of ADO.NET

✓ Disconnected data architecture —

Applications connect to the database only
while retrieving and updating data.

✓ Data cached in datasets — ADO.NET is

based on a disconnected data structure.
Therefore, the data is retrieved and stored
in datasets.

✓ Data transfer in XML format — ADO.NET

uses XML for transferring information from
a database into a dataset and from the
dataset to another component.

✓ Interaction with the database is done

through data commands.

DATASET
DATA ADAPTER
ADO.NET Data
Provider
DataProvider

 Is used for connecting to a database,

retrieving data, and storing the data.
 Is of two types:

OLE DB data provider

SQL Server data provider
Components of Data

Components of DataProvider

 Connection
 Command
 DataReader
 DataAdapter
 DataSet
Connection
Object
Connection Object

 Used to establish a connection

with a data source
 Some commonly used properties
and methods:
- ConnectionString property
- State property
- Open()method
- Close()method
Command
Object
Command Object

•Is a SQL statement or a stored

procedure that is used to retrieve,
insert, delete, or modify data from a
data source.
•Is an object of the OleDbCommand or
SQLCommand class.
DataReader
Data Reader
 Data reader
•Is used to retrieve data from a data
source in a read-only and forward-only
mode.
•Stores a single row at a time in the
memory.
•Commonly used methods:
–Read()
–Close()
–NextResult()
DataAdapter
DataAdapter

 Data adapter
•Creates a dataset and updates the
database.
•Handles data transfer between the
database and the dataset through its
properties and methods.
•Displays the data through the process of
table mapping.
•Are of two types:
–SqlDataAdapter
–OleDbDataAdapter
DataSet

DataSet
 Is present as a DataSet class in the
System.Data namespace.
 Has its own object model.
 Is a disconnected, cached set of
records that are retrieved from a
database.
Types of DataSet

 Datasets are of two types:

•Typed
•Untyped

 Typed dataset
•Is derived from the DataSet class and
has an associated XML schema, which
is created at the time of the creation of
the dataset.
•Can be customized after creation.
•Supports Intellisense and
auto‑completion for the elements of the
syntax while writing code.
Types of DataSet..
 Untyped Dataset
 Does not have any associated XML
schema, therefore, the structure of an
untyped dataset is not known at the
compile time.
 Represents tables and columns as
collections.
 Does not support Intellisense and
auto‑completion for the elements of the
syntax.
