Description
You won't get far as a C# developer unless you recognize how to put in writing database applications.

This's where this book comes in. It shows you how to use Visual Studio 2008 and ADO.NET 3.5 to develop database applications the way the excellent professionals do.

This consists of the full gamut of skills you want, from utilizing prototyping features this generate ADO.NET code...to writing your own ADO.NET code from scratch so you can closely control how the database processing works...to utilizing .NET 3.5 features like LINQ and the ADO.NET Entity Framework this actually modify the way you believe concerning handling data.

What this book covers
You'll initiate by learning how to prototype Windows applications utilizing drag-and-drop tools like data sources. This gets you off to a quick begin!

However, the code this's generated by RAD tools like these isn't effortlessly reusable, maintainable, or scalable. So next, you'll study how to make 3-layer applications, writing your own, extra flexible ADO.NET 3.5 code.

Then, you'll get a practical course in utilizing LINQ to work together with data from a wide diversity of sources utilizing the same basic set of C# code. To be specific, the 6-chapter section in this book teaches you how to use LINQ to Objects, LINQ to DataSet, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, and LINQ data source controls for web applications.

Finally, you'll get initiated utilizing the Entity Framework. EF offers a flexible model for mapping the business objects in a database application to database objects, and it generates a lot of the code this you'd have to put in writing from scratch otherwise. It's a huge subject, but the 4-chapter section in this book provides you the background and experience you want to see its potential and begin utilizing it on your own.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Featuring Murach's Paired Page Approach   2010-02-05
By John Matlock (Winnemucca, NV)
In this book, Murach has applied their unique, "paired-pages" layout style to teaching the skills that developers need to create database applications using Microsoft's ADO.NET 3.5. In this style, each subject is given two pages of description. One page is a technical description of what a particular function does; the facing page is an illustration of that feature being used. As such, this combines the tutorial and reference formats into a single book that I find to be the easiest way to learn how to use a software package.

As I said, the subject of this particular Murach title is the newest version of ADO.NET. It is a combination of a book on programming in SQL, which can be looked at as though it is a fully functional programming language in itself, and on using Microsoft tools that take advantage of the growing popularity of Microsoft's C# (C Sharp). Specifically it is intended to enable C# programmers to write effective and efficient programs that interface to a database. The book recommends, and I wholeheartedly agree that you should do a bit of SQL coding before you tackle this book. And if you like Murach's style, their SQL book is the one to use. Actually they have two SQL books, one oriented to Oracle SQL and the other to SQL Server. If you need something on C#, they have Murach's C# @008. Or if you prefer to program in Visual Basic, Ms Boehm has written a book similar to this bone but using VB instead of C#.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent Book + Series   2009-10-22
By S. Viau (Ottawa, Ontario)
I was transitioning from Access forms with VB to the .NET environment and windows forms with C#. The transition was made easy with this book plus others in the series (C# in particular). Each concept is presented as a description on the left hand side of the page and a figure on right. This presentation has 2 benefits - it can allow you to breeze through parts of the book faster when you understand the topic and for the new concepts you have two chances to absorb the training. I like the format and it prompted me to buy other books by the author.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Great reference book!   2009-10-20
By David Noderer (Deerfield Beach, FL)
I've just finished reading this book on [..]

Like all Murach books, this provides a base for comprehensive training on the subject.

It is almost like reading a history of data in .net progressing from basic ado.net commands and proceeds through the latest entity framework.

Each section is complete and follows a similar pattern making it easy to follow and see the differences between the various approaches.

Although each section of the book could be (and is in many cases) an entire book or two of it's own, the author does a good job of picking out the most important point and gives a working example
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent Training and Reference   2009-09-24
By Lewis Hill
Written in an instructional style with clear definitions and illustrated concepts this book covers a host of data access concepts with timely and practical examples. The material in the book explains many of the new additions to the Microsoft ADO.Net 3.5 framework such as LINQ (Language-Integrated Query), Entity Framework, and Microsoft's approach Object Relational Mapping.

I appreciate the clarity, structure, and thoroughness given to the topics in this book. If you are new to ADO.Net the first few chapters will give you a good overview explaining datasets, business classes, and how to work with Data Grid View Controls.

From there the book dives into data sources for Rapid Application Development and advance concept like LINQ to SQL and LINQ to XML. I especially found binding data to controls, using stored procedures to insert, update, and delete data concepts, and Entity Data Model Designer which are first explained and then illustrated with code examples very helpful.

As Senior Software Developer building business applications I found this book timely and thorough. At close to 800 pages filled with concepts and examples this book will give you a solid foundation in ADO.Net, LINQ, and the Entity Framework. I highly recommend this comprehensive and well written guide to LINQ and the Entity Framework.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A welcome and strongly recommended addition to personal and professional C# instructional reference collections   2009-09-17
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
The latest addition to an outstanding roster of 'how to' books for computer professionals published by Mike Murach & Associates, "Murach's ADO.NET 3.5 LINQ and the Entity Framework with C# 2008" continues a distinctive tradition of publishing comprehensive instructional reference works that are as 'user friendly' as they are cutting edge in the field of software development and application. Author and C# expert Anne Boehm draws upon her more than twenty years of experience and expertise as a programmer specializing in Visual Basic and .NET, and as the author of several previous computer reference works, to instruct C# developers on employing C# 2008 and ADO.NET 3.5 for creating professional quality database applications. Of special note are the twenty-three complete database applications that showcase programming practices utilizing data sources and datasets for Rapid Application Development and prototyping of Windows Forms applications. She then goes on to step-by-step illustrated explanations with respect to building professional level triple layer applications (presentation, business, database classes), as well as the effective use of new LINQ features, XML documents, building database applications using Entity Framework for mapping business objects to database objects. "Murach's ADO.NET 3.5 LINQ and the Entity Framework with C# 2008" is a welcome and strongly recommended addition to personal and professional C# instructional reference collections.
