ADO.NET Architecture Understanding the core components Data Providers DataSet Components Connects to specific databases. In-memory data representation. Connection, Command, DataReader, DataAdapter. ADO.NET
Key ADO.NET Data Providers • SqlClient: for Microsoft SQL Server • Odbc: for ODBC data sources • OracleClient: for Oracle (use third-party) • OleDb: for OLE DB data sources
Establishing a Connection Connecting to your database Open & Close Connection String Properly manage connections to prevent leaks. SqlConnection Class Server, database, authentication details. Use for database connection. ADO.NET
Executing Commands Interacting with your data • SqlCommand: Executes SQL queries. • ExecuteScalar: Retrieves single value. • ExecuteReader: For SELECT statements. • Parameterized Queries: Prevents SQL injection. • ExecuteNonQuery: For INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.
Reading Data with SqlDataReader Efficient data retrieval Forward-Only Read-Only High Performance Reads data sequentially. Data cannot be modified. Ideal for large result sets. ADO.NET
Disconnected Data: DataSet & DataAdapter Working offline and batch updates • DataSet: Holds multiple tables and relationships. • DataAdapter: Fills DataSet, updates database. • Offline Data: Manipulate data locally. • Batch Updates: Apply changes efficiently. ADO.NET
Handling Transactions Ensuring data integrity BeginTransaction Commit Rollback Start atomic operations. Save all changes. Discard changes on error. ADO.NET
Best Practices & Performance Optimize your data access • Utilize connection pooling • Prefer parameterized queries • Use using statements for disposal • Avoid loading unnecessary data ADO.NET
