Ebook: Microsoft ADO.NET Step by Step

It seems every example in this book involves using Wizards and Data Binding. If you are writing some sort of logging application that doesn't have anything to do with UI, this is not a good book from which to learn. Starting with databinding creates lots of generated code which is almost overwhelming to take in all at once.Lots of space is wasted in this book... Too many pictures, not enough code.When there is code, it is repeated in both basic and c#. While this seemed like a benefit at first, it now feels like eating up space that could have been used for more code. I am going to try to find another book that has a different approach.If data binding is your thing, you might see this book differently. While I didn't compile every example, the ones I did worked (contrary to some other reviewers)
