Agenda: Customizing Classes for Data Access with Bob Avallone
Bob has created two reusable data access classes. The techniques used by these
classes include OleDbConnection, data sets, data tables and data adaptors. These
classes are flexible and can be used regardless of the data connection, tables
or queries being accessed. They can be used in windows as well as web based
projects.
Bob shows a simple project to demonstrate the use of these classes. The project
and the classes will be made available to the attendees of the meeting.
