  • Supports both connected and disconnected data access.
  • ADO.NET is a set of libraries included in the Microsoft .NET Framework that help you to communicate with various data stores from .NET applications.

  • The ADO.NET libraries include classes for connecting to a data source, submitting queries, and processing results. You can also use ADO.NET as a robust, hierarchical, disconnected data cache to work with data off line.  

  • The central disconnected object, the DataSet, allows you to sort, search, filter, store pending changes, and navigates through hierarchical data. 

  • The DataSet also includes a number of features that bridge the gap between traditional data access and XML development.  Developers can now work with XML data through traditional data access interfaces and vice-versa.
