The onset of the new .NET technology forces developers to completely rethink their
data access strategies. All at once there is an entirely new language and a new
set of data access interfaces to learn and incorporate into their designs. The
purpose of this book is to make the choice and implementation of the best of those
technologies far easier. It does this through working examples and numerous discussions
of what works and what doesn’t. Vaughn's Best Practices are the techniques
that developers need to know because they cause the least amount of overhead,
problems and confusion–for the developer, the system and the team. While
some are quite simple to implement, other Best Practices require considerable
thought and forethought to enable. This is a developer’s book—full of
hints, tips and notes passed on from those who show the medals and scars of battles
won and lost.

Poorly written... same information can be found in other books
At first glance, it sounded like a great book. Ah I said to myself, now I get to see examples and best practices approach for ADO.NET in C#. As I started reading the book, it assumes that the reader came from the older ADO (ADOc) and repeatedly made that comparison. Lots of "IMHO". I really didn't care for his opinion. I was looking for best practices in C# and ADO.NET. Also, the book was a rewrite from an older ADO book for VB programmers. Finally, these writers don't now how to write. It's like reading a material from programmers when you ask them to put together a functional spec. Save your money and try another selection.
