ADO = ActiveX Data Objects

User interface controls must be data binding “aware”, ADO.NET(System.Data) classes support data binding. • ADO.NET creates a connection to a data source (database) • ADO.NET manages the conversation (requests and responses) between your application and the database. • ADO.NET manages the data that is retrieved forum the response to the database query. • BindingSource manages the connection between the user interface controls and the underlying data set retrieved from the database. Provides an application interface to reduce learning curve for the end user. Restrict access to the database to maintain security. To control the presentation of the data. Maintain the integrity of the data.Practice ADO.NET does a lot of the grunt work, it is not necessary to know all about ADO.NET.
