Hi Joe

This was a uselful video for me as a newbie to this technologies... Keep them coming Joe... Most of the material/ books and video failed to address the difference of ADO and LINQ... I can't wait for your next video on the subject.

In the second ADO example, didn't you want to have a finally block that closed your SQL connection?

pthalacker,

When opening a SQL connection in a using{} block, the garbage collection is automatically taken care of. Closing the connection in a finally statement is not needed.

Good lesson. Please upload a lesson regarding uploading image files to SQL table. with formating size we need.

Hey Joe great series I hope you take it all the way to advanced I bought that Murach's ADO.NET 3.5, LINQ, and the Entity Framework book you reviewed in your blog post on June 9 it's great along with ASP.NET Unleashed by Stephen Walther they connect the dots these videos couldn't have come at a better time for me I'm looking forward to seeing the entity framework under the hood thanks for going through it piece by piece keep up the good work

Nice Video Joe. Thank you for posting it. Linq is a great technology. However, my question is if i simply change the name of the table Question to Questions, how many changes i need to do for this 1 page. I hope that you see my point and thank you again for the video.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for taking time to explain the difference between the traditional ADO.NET and LINQ. I like your teaching approach...very helpful.

Excellent video, Joe! Also it is very good to continue on data access series. It is very important and was neglected until this effort.

Great video. What software are you using to record your desktop sessions?

hakanbilge : On October 18, 2009 11:32 AM said:

Excellent video, Joe. But I wait more data access videos, it is important, because.

Hi Joe,

Nice video. Helpful to understand to understand basics of Linq.

Joe,

Usually your videos are very easy for me to follow. This was not. I am afraid there was way too much complexity showing the hand coding. I would have preferred you keep the first video simple and showed the hand coding part in the second video. At this point, I'm not sure what I have to do to make Linq work like ADO.

You have to take pity on an old man, dude. Back in the early 80's I'm sure I would have been right there with you.

You mention another video showing how Web Developer automatically does this work for you but I can not find that video. Would be nice if there were a link to it on this page.
