You will use the Microsoft Developer Network Library extensively as you work with ADO.NET. The MSDN library is the only source of the ADO.NET documentation. Throughout this help file, there are references to topics within the MSDN library. The library organization changes over time, so the URL for a topic and it’s location within the library may be different from the information in this book.
