This book is an unbiased, in-depth commentary on the efficacy of the various technologies that comprise .NET as they pertain to Internet database developers. It provides technical know-how without crushing the student with pointless detail. The authors discuss the implementation details that replace and extend the existing Active Server Pages (ASP), XML, and ActiveX Data Object (ADO) functionality currently supported by Microsoft. Topics covered in this book include: the .NET Foundation Classes that are most used --ASP.NET, XML, and ADO.NET, and details about the construction of Web Services and how they programmatically communicate with each other.
