Developers who use the SQL server and the .NET framework, regardless of whether they are accessing data from the client, middle tier, or server, use the SqlClient data provider. The latest release of SqlClient, installed with .NET Framework 2.0, includes new functionality to take advantage of innovations in SQL Server 2005. Data access code is similar regardless of its location, but the new SqlClient contains code to encapsulate differences when programming inside SQL Server and optimize the in-server programming environment. In this sample chapter, taken from <i>A Developer’s Guide to SQL Server 2005</i>, lucid, step-by-step explanations and a wealth of sample code help developers get up to speed quickly on data access within the updated SQL data model. </span></p><p><span class=”plain”><b>Title:</b> <i> A Developer’s Guide to SQL Server 2005</i><br> <b>ISBN:</b> 0321382188<br> <b>Published:</b> April 2006<br> <b>Authors:</b> Bob Beauchemin, Dan Sullivan <br> <b>Chapter:</b> Chapter 4: In-Process Data Access <br> Published by <a href=” http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0321382188″ target=”_blank”> Addison Wesley Professional</a></span></p>
