In a class by itself!
I have been working through your excellent primer on ADO.NET, which is the first such book I have seen that makes real sense to me, because it actually focuses on something close to real-life database programming. In addition, the writing is clear, and the program samples are amazingly bug-free. (One of the most infuriating problems a person can encounter in learning a new programming environment is an author's buggy code.) Most of the .NET primers that I have seen have been dreadful, which may be one reason why this technology's penetration has been unexpectedly slow. VB.NET Database Programming with ADO.NET is in a class by itself, I think.

Murach's ASP .NET more bang for the buck
I purchased this book after I was so impressed with Murach's APS.NET programming with ADO.NET. I found the ASP.NET book contained a wealth of information that included ADO.NET.

Where's the beef?
I found the book poorly written and researched. The title is ADO.NET Database programming. What is offered is 5 chapters on DB design, 2 on ADO access and a couple more on XML. The author states he uses an older version of MSDE ( version 7) and discounts MSDE 2000 and Access databases. The latter being non-enterprise or desk top databasing. The meat of chapters 6 and 7 for ADO failed to explain the internals of use of the ADO objects. I returned the book and deemed it a failure. I've since bought Microsoft's ADO.NET Core Reference and found that it answers my questions.
