This course will teach developers to build data-centric applications and Web services with Microsoft ADO.NET, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and the Microsoft .NET Framework.

-Describe data-centric applications, ADO.NET architecture, and ADO.NET and XML. -Connect to SQL Server and other data sources. -Perform connected database operations including executing SELECT commands, database definition commands, dynamic SQL commands, and commands that return data from a SQL Server database in XML. -Build a DataSet schema, populate it with data, and modify the data programmatically. -Build a DataSet from an existing data source. -Use XML techniques while working with DataSets, including mapping tables and columns, creating XSD schemas, building strongly typed DataSets, and interacting with XMLDataDocuments. -Build a Web service that uses ADO.NET to query and update a data source. -Troubleshoot errors within an ADO.NET application.
