I bought a book about ADO.net 2.0 this weekend and guess who one of the technical reviewers is: onze eigen Frans! (translated: our own Frans) The book is Pro ADO.Net 2.0 from Apress, got good reviews on amazon.com and it promises to be the only ado.net book you will ever need. Btw, when will the first book on llblgen pro be published ?? Now with asp.net 2.0 etc being released there will be a flood of new and interesting book to read, the problem is finding enough time to read and try out all the new stuff.

I've tried to write here and there, but I'm not a book writer (although the manual is now 300+ A4 pages stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye ), essay's ok (in the upcoming Jimmy Nilsson book, look out for his new masterpiece) but whole books, not my thing. I can't say much about others writing books with LLBLGen Pro as the core technology, we'll see wink

Drewes,

I have to tell you, Frans was a tough reviewer to please. A good part of the credit goes to Frans for his rather incisive comments that improved the quality of the book by manifold.

I hope you like it simple_smile

For example can ado.net now handle more than one simultanios transactions per connection?

Stuff like that?

That's db specific, so it depends on the db if they can do that.

I this the new System.Transactions and MARs are the two major new features.

Why do we need to know ADO if we are using LLBLGen Pro? Isn't it all abstracted away?
