3.1.
The
.NET
Framework

The
.NET
Framework
(pronounced
“dot
net”)
is
a
software
framework
that
runs
primarily
on

Microsoft
Windows.
It
includes
a
large
library
and
supports
several
programming
languages

such
as
C#.
.NET
is
included
with
Visual
Studio.

3.2.
The
C#
Language

C#
is
pronounced
“see
sharp”.
C#
is
an
object-‐oriented
programming
language
and
part
of

the
.NET
family
from
Microsoft.
C#
is
very
similar
to
C++
and
Java.
C#
is
developed
by

Microsoft
and
works
only
on
the
Windows
platform.

Database
Programming

in
C#

Visual
Studio,
.NET
and
C#
offers
lots
of
different
techniques
for
communicationg
with

Databases,
espessially
SQL
Server.

Some
of
the
techniques
discussed
in
this
document
are:

• ADO.NET

• Enterprise
Library
&
Data
Access
Application
Block

• LINQ

o LINQ
to
SQL

o LINQ
to
Enitities

• Entity
Framework

4.1.
ADO.NET

ADO.NET
is
the
basic
data-‐access
technology
for
.NET.

ADO.NET
(ActiveX
Data
Object
for
.NET)
is
a
set
of
computer
software
components
that

programmers
can
use
to
access
data
and
data
services.
It
is
a
part
of
the
base
class
library

that
is
included
with
the
Microsoft
.NET
Framework.
It
is
commonly
used
by
programmers
to

access
and
modify
data
stored
in
relational
database
systems,
though
it
can
also
access
data

in
non-‐relational
sources.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-‐us/library/e80y5yhx(v=vs.110).aspx

ADO.NET
provides
consistent
access
to
data
sources
such
as
SQL
Server
and
XML,
and
to

data
sources
exposed
through
OLE
DB
and
ODBC.

The
ADO.NET
classes
are
found
in
System.Data.dll.

ADO.NET
Code

Enterprise
Library
&
Data
Access

Application
Block

Microsoft
Enterprise
Library
is
a
collection
of
different
libraries
that
makes
your
life
as
a

programmer
easier.
In
this
document
we
will
only
use
the
Data
Access
Application
Block.

The
Data
Access
Application
Block
simplifies
many
common
data
access
tasks
such
as

reading
data
for
display,
passing
data
through
application
layers,
and
submitting
changed

data
back
to
the
database
system.
It
includes
support
for
both
stored
procedures
and
in-‐line

SQL,
can
expose
the
data
as
a
sequence
of
objects
for
client-‐side
querying,
and
provides

access
to
the
most
frequently
used
features
of
ADO.NET
in
simple-‐to-‐use
classes.

You
can
use
the
NuGet
Package
Manager
in
Visual
Studio
to
install
the
Enterprise
Library

assemblies
that
you
need
in
your
projects.

LINQ

…

4.3.1.
LINQ
to
SQL

LINQ
to
SQL
is
a
method
to
work
with
Microsoft
SQL
Server
databases
using
LINQ.

Microsoft
recommends
that
you
use
Entity
Framework
for
new
applications,
because
LINQ

to
SQL
will
not
be
further
developed.

Web
Services

In
many
situations
our
apps
don’t
necessarly
have
direct
access
to
the
datbase,
especially

when
your
sofware
is
used
ourside
the
local
company
network.
In
these
situations
we
need

to
use
a
Web
Service
in
order
to
write
or
read
data
from
the
database.

Today
Web
Services
have
been
very
popular.
A
Web
service
is
a
method
of
communications

between
two
devices
over
the
World
Wide
Web,
and
makes
it
easy
to
share
data
over
a

network
or
the
internet.

A
Web
Service
is

• A
Web
API

• A
Standard
defined
by
W3C

• Cross-‐platform
and
Platform-‐independent
Communication

• Distributed
Application
Development

Web
Services
can
be
implemented
and
used
in
most
Programming
Languages
(C#/ASP.NET,

PHP,
LabVIEW,
Objective-‐C,
Java,
etc.)
