✦ Synopsis

For every developer who's uttered "I wish I knew that before I started writing all this code!" PROGRAMMING ADO demonstrates how to save time, write less code, and build more-powerful data-driven solutions using Microsoft(r) ActiveX(r) Data Objects (ADO). In the book's first section, the author expertly guides readers through the ADO object model-sharing his expertise as a Microsoft Developer Support professional on the properties, events, and methods that can present the greatest challenges to the ADO developer. The remainder of the book is devoted to helping developers comprehend how ADO objects behave and building their proficiency with ADO programming techniques. Topics include connecting to databases; using the Recordset, Command, and Record and Search objects to retrieve and manipulate data; updating databases; and creating remote data services. Readers can study the features of the ADO cursor engine in detail, so to learn how cursors work, what their limitations are, how to shorten development time, and how to avoid coding themselves into a corner.
