Re: Difference between ADO and ADO.net ? Answer ADO and ADO.NET are # 1 different in several 0 Lokesh

ways: ? ADO works with connected data. This means that when you access data, such as viewing and updating data, it is real-time, with a connection being used all the time. This is barring, of course, you programming special routines to pull all your data into temporary tables. ADO.NET uses data in a disconnected fashion. When you access data, ADO.NET makes a copy of the data using XML. ADO.NET only holds the connection open long enough to either pull down the data or to make any requested updates. This makes ADO.NET efficient to use for Web applications. It's also decent for desktop applications. ? ADO has one main object that is used to reference data, called the Recordset object. This object basically gives you a single table view of your data, although you can join tables to create a new set of records. With ADO.NET, you have various

objects that allow you to access data in various ways. The Dataset object will actually allow you to store the relational model of your database. This allows you to pull up customers and their orders, accessing/updating the data in each related table individually. ? ADO allows you to create client-side cursors only, whereas ADO.NET gives you the choice of either using clientside or server-side cursors. In ADO.NET, classes actually handle the work of cursors. This allows the developer to decide which is best. For Internet development, this is crucial in creating efficient applications. ? Whereas ADO allows you to persist records in XML format, ADO.NET allows you to manipulate your data using XML as the primary means. This is nice when you are working with other business applications and also helps when you are working with firewalls because data is passed as HTML and XML.

Re: Difference between ADO and ADO.net ? Answer Just to correct you at # 2 one point,
There is no cursor support in ADO.NET. Cursors are a database-specific technology and thus are tied to features of a particular database such as SQL Server? or Oracle.
