Coverage includes: Getting familiar with the ADO.NET object model Using the data access wizards Taking advantage of new SQL Server 2000 features Carrying out XSL Transformations and XPath queries Generating XML using the T-SQL FOR XML statement Binding controls to ADO.NET result sets Arriving at a sound database design Tuning your SQL Server 2000 database Using the XML Designer in Visual Studio .NET Leveraging the data access tools available in the Visual Studio .NET IDE Working with .NET data providers Choosing between streaming data and caching data Working with the Data Form Wizard in Visual Studio .NET Using advanced ADO.NET techniques Building a threaded application Using .NET's advanced exception handling capabilities Using the .NET Deployment Project Template Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.







VISUAL C# .NET WITH MYSQL


Book Description

In chapter one, you will learn to know the properties and events of each control in a Windows Visual C# application. You need to learn and know in order to be more familiar when applying them to some applications in this book. In chapter two, you will go through step by step to build a SALES database using MySQL. You will build each table and add associated data fields (along with the necessary keys and indexes). The first field in the Client table is ClientID. Enter the clien ID in the Name Field and select AutoNumber in the Data Type. You define primary key and other indexes which are useful for quick searching. ClientID is a primary field. You will define FamilyName as an index. You then will create Ordering table with three fields: OrderID, ClientID, and OrderDate. You then will create Purchase table with three fields: OrderID, ProductID, and Quantity. And you will create Product table with four fields: ProductID, Description, Price, and QtySold. Before designing Visual C# interface, you will build the relationships between four tables. The interface will be used to enter new orders into the database. The order form will be used to enter the following information into the database: order ID, order date, client ID, client’s first name and family name, client’s address, product information ordered. The form will have the ability to add new orders, find clients, add new clients. The completed order invoice will be provided in a printed report. In chapter three, you will build a database management system where you can store information about valuables in your warehouse. The table will have seven fields: Item (description of the item), Location (where the item was placed), Shop (where the item was purchased), DatePurchased (when the item was purchased), Cost (how much the item cost), SerialNumber (serial number of the item), PhotoFile (path of the photo file of the item), and Fragile (indicates whether a particular item is fragile or not). The development of this Warehouse Inventory Project will be performed, as usual, in a step-by-step manner. You will first create the database. Furthermore, the interface will be built so that the user can view, edit, add, or add data records from the database. Finally, you add code to create a printable list of information from the database. In chapter four, you will build an application that can be used to track daily high and low pollutant PM2.5 and air quality level. The steps that need to be taken in building Siantar Air Quality Index (SAQI) database project are: Build and test a Visual C# interface; Create an empty database using code; and Report database. The designed interface will allow the user to enter max pollutant, min pollutant, and air quality for any date that the user chooses in a particular year. This information will be stored in a database. Graphical result of the data will be provided, along with summary information relating to the maximum value, minimum value, and mean value. You will use a tab control as the main component of the interface. The control has three tabs: one for viewing and editing data, one for viewing graph of pollutant data, and another for viewing graph of air quality data. Each tab on this control operates like a Visual C# control panel. In chapter five, you will perform the steps necessary to build a MySQL book inventory database that contains 4 tables. You will build each table and add the associated fields as needed. You will have four tables in the database and define the relationship between the primary key and foreign key. You will associate AuthorID (foreign key) field in the Title_Author table with AuthorID (primary key) in the Author table. Then, you want to associate the ISBN (foreign key) field in Title_Author table with ISBN (primary key) in the Title table.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server


Book Description

Since 1994 when he wrote his first “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, William Vaughn has been providing developers all over the world the intimate details of how SQL Server can be accessed and managed from RAD languages like Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET. With the 7th Edition, Bill has completely rewritten this encyclopedic work from cover to cover–giving readers his insightful views on how applications should be built to maximize both developer and code performance. Visual Studio and the languages it hosts have never been as sophisticated as they are today–the same can be said for SQL Server. This makes it even more important for developers to understand how to best leverage their features without being held back by their complexity. That’s what this book is all about–making it easier for developers regardless of their know-how. The 7th edition is unique in that it’s designed to provide not only up-to-date tutorials on the latest development tools provided by Visual Studio and SQL Server, but also a solid platform of architectural advice and rich examples for developers trying to choose between the myriad of platform options. Beginners and experts alike will find comprehensive step-by-step instructions that can make the reader’s introduction to the latest versions of Visual Studio and SQL Server far easier. Key topic coverage includes: • Data access architectures and how to choose the best strategy for Windows Forms, ASP.NET, XML Web Services, and SQL Server CLR executables. Where do these make sense and how much will they cost to build and maintain? • SQL Server and relational database fundamentals and inner-machinery. How does SQL Server work and why is it important that developers know? • Making the development experience more productive through judicious use of the Visual Studio toolset, and how to know when the wizards can help. • Using the latest ADO.NET data provider efficiently and safely. • How to protect the security of your database–and your job–by avoiding common mistakes. • How to build secure, efficient, scalable applications in less time with fewer resources–how to create faster code faster. • How to leverage the potential of SQL Server CLR executables and knowing when these features make sense. • How to work with your DBA to maintain database integrity and security. • Working with the new Visual Studio report controls to expose your organization’s data safely and easily with or without leveraging existing SQL Server Reporting Services technology. William R. Vaughnis the President of Beta V Corporation and a Microsoft MVP. In 2000 he retired from Microsoft after 14 years to focus on mentoring, speaking, and writing. His specialty is data access application design especially when connecting to SQL Server–over the years he’s written 12 books on the subject. He’s a popular speaker at technical conferences all over the world where his wit and no-holds-barred technical insights win him rave reviews. William is also a member of the prestigious INETA Speaker’s Bureau. His works include articles for SQL Server Magazine and a bi-weekly editorial for Processor Magazine as well as books published by Microsoft Press and Apress. The book includes a DVD that contains a wealth of examples as well as several sample databases used to illustrate points discussed in the book.
