Working with data and databases in C# certainly can be daunting if you’re coming from VB6, VBA, or Access. With this hands-on guide, you’ll shorten the learning curve considerably as you master accessing, adding, updating, and deleting data with C#—basic skills you need if you intend to program with this language. No previous knowledge of C# is necessary. By following the examples in this book, you’ll learn how to tackle several database tasks in C#, such as working with SQL Server, building data entry forms, and using data in a web service. The book’s code samples will help you get started on your own projects.
This book is far from good. The were variables named xyz... the explanation of what was being developed was scarce and the "projects" were confusing. I read the Portuguese version and the translation/edition was terrible, there were many mistakes. I would never suggest this book to anyone. There are better alternatives to get yourself into C# and databases.
