Some ADO.NET sessions focus on the object model and .NET Framework classes and not on specific data access tasks that ADO.NET can solve. This session assumes you're somewhat familiar with the ADO.NET object model and want to see how to address the common tasks your application is likely to perform. Focus on getting connected in an ASP and Windows application, how to setup and run ad hoc queries as well as parameter-driven stored procedures, with and without returned parameters. See how to bind to DataReaders and DataSets and when it makes sense to use each. See how to fill and bind to a ListBox and a DataGrid and how to update the data, even when the query is the result of a complex join.
