In this article Sahil Malik will explain some of the significant changes that have taken place for ADO.NET version 2.0. The article will cover improvements to serialization, the better streaming support and - in some cases - lower memory requirements associated with the DataTable, as well as new support for asynchronous command execution and better support for transactions via System.Transaction classes.
With the soon to be released version of ASP.NET v2.0, web developers will be introduced to various new web server and data source controls.
