As a fellow VB programmer and developer, I wrote this book for two reasons: To introduce the VB Classic (VB Version 6.0 and prior versions) programmer to VB .NET and ADO .NET and take some of the version shock out of the transition. To introduce non-VB programmers who have experience in other platforms (specifically Java or C++) to the advantages of database programming with the new .NET platform. My intent is not necessarily to win you over and get you to switch platforms. That is the job of Microsoft's marketing people. My intent is to show that .NET is a radical departure from previous versions of VB and that it is a first-class tool for serious development. A Disruptive Release When I first started working with the beta versions of Visual Studio .NET, I could see from the very beginning that this was going to be a disruptive release, a term I adapted from sociology. In sociology, disruptive innovation refers to the invention of something so revolutionary that it changes the b
