Some books were meant to be written. Just not by me.Hey, if I can't make you laugh, how can I possibly convince you that you need to purchase this book. Truth is, you've probably already made your decision. But if you choose not to purchase this book, here's what you'll be missing: Examples of using early, mixed and late binding. How to use the Datalinks program to assist in creating connection string, Examples of mixing up ADODB.Connection, ADODB.Command and ADODB.Recordset in different ways, code examples of how an ADODB.Recordset can be used with the OLEDBDataAdapter to produce a Dataset or DataTable or DataView. Working with Providers, Drivers and ISAMS. Fixing the text ISAM Schema.ini file so you can use any delimiter you want. And all of the boringly interesting stuff that you only need to know when your ego gets you in trouble. (In-other-words, all the stuff I needed to know but hadn't remembered where to find it when I needed it while on assignment somewhere out in the middle of nowhere with no internet connection.
