I found it had essential information when I was building my data access
strategy. I would recommend it. It covers this piece of the puzzle in
more depth than other books but here is a warning, it is still just a
piece of the puzzle. None of the books seem to explain how to put the
puzzle together easily and I had to use other references as well to get
what I needed to manage ADO.NET.

Wrox Beginning C#, Wrox Professional C# and Wrox Professional Windows
Forms are three of my favorites. I also made extensive use of on-line
articles.

how is the ado.net coverage in "Professional C#"? does it cover stuff that
isn't covered by "Professional ADO.NET"? if so, what?

I think a lot of material in the book is outdated in the
sense that the code could have been done more
visually and typesafe.
I bought the book mainly because it did seem to explain
concepts quite well, and I didn't find any better books.
I found "Professional Windows Forms" to be quite good
on visual/typesafe coding. I used that one to get started
and then "Professional ADO.NET" to get further.
"Beginning C#" also looks OK, if you want this type of book.
Don't buy "Professional C#" for the ADO.NET!
From the reviews of her other books I would expect
"Microsoft ADO .NET Step by Step" by Rebecca M. Riordan
to be good.
Also note that it seems that Wrox doesn't duplicate downloadable
code in both languages.
Bye

"Professional ADO.NET" covers ADO.NET more thoroughly. I found the
other sources offered the base information organized and presented
simply such that I found the combination of material necessary in order
for me to get it. For some, "Professional ADO.NET" would be all you
need to understand ADO.NET.
