Summary: The best book on ADO .NET
Comment: If you are not sure which book to buy on ADO .NET, this is the one.
I read this book from cover to cover. The author has an excellent writing style; the book is both readable from front to back, and as a reference. It covers every topic, with multiple examples.
In Web Data Grid Paging the book has six examples of paging:
§Using Data Grid Paging
§Cache in View State
§Cache in Session State
§Partial Data Adapter Fill
§Query for a single page at a time
§Cache in Database.
The book contains a CD with the entire book on disk and sample code. Excellent book.

Summary: Simply outstanding
Comment: I bought this book because I needed to do some specialized things with transactioning and change auditing, and I also needed some control over the way commands got implemented in my DataAdapters. The previous book we had on ADO.Net completely glossed over the details in areas like these, and generally tended to skim the surface on advanced topics.
This book completely delivered the goods. There were detailed discussions of the 3 different ways to generate commands for a DataAdapter, and enough information on the pros and cons of each one that it made deciding on a plan of action pretty easy. There were also a lot of internal details about the way ADO.Net tracks changes, which made developing an audit strategy that fits with our existing audit schema much more straightforward, and there was more than enough discussion of transactioning to make it easy to proceed.
It was also detailed enough about ADO.Net internals that it has given me a lot of ideas about things I can do with .Net that I hadn't thought of before -- a new technique for incremental synchronization, new optimization strategies, simpler ways of integrating ADO.Net into my objects.
This is an extremely practical book that starts with the basics, but it discussed every advanced topic I needed covered at enough detail that when I was done with this book I had all of my questions answered. I can't think of anything better to say than that.
Edited to add: I ignored the sample applications, so I can't really comment on them. I didn't need them at all, but I do know some people find them useful to work with. Also, the one thing I would like to see Mr. Sceppa expand on if there's a second edition is the discussion of Expressions, which are used in several places in ADO.Net, such as for filtering. There was enough detail for everything I've needed to do, but if you end up needing to write elaborate expressions, you'll have to go to MSDN for the details. A thorough discussion of expressions would have made a good appendix to this book.

Summary: Good book need more code samples on CD
Comment: This book is pretty good. The one big shortfall for em was that it only includes samples from Chapter 11 to the end of the book. It would be nice to have some from the other chapters. The author suggests installing the e-version and then copying and pasting, but this is a big hassle when you could just open the solution and go from there!
