Need Advice - ado.net 1.x ----> 2.0

Rachana

Hi,
I am having vb.net 1.0. & presently trying dummy codes - (data
adapter, data set etc.). Within a couple of weeks , I have to go for
real projects. At present all my projects are window based( not Web).
I have just read about ado.net.2.0 and enhanced features. Are those
features mainly important to web users or for all? should I stick with
1.0 or go with 2.0
Because again I will have to spent time on basic data access features.
But Since, I am very new and in learning stage, perhaps going with
latest one will be more appropriate. I am confused? Please, advice.

Thanks in advance

If you're able to go to 2.0 now, you should go ahead and do so.

A: Any real code you develop will last much longer.
B. There are several 2.0 features that are worth it, even outside of the
Data Access.

Generics (to me) is the #1 thing which will make your life in 2.0 MUCH
easier. Even if you don't code your own, you'll be able to take advantage
of the built in Generic objects.

I would also recommend the EnterpriseLibra ry.Practices .Data library.
(3.1).
This will make your life easier for getting at the data, and not having to
code up a bunch of redundant lines of code.

..........
Here is a layered application you might try out:

You can also get express versions for 2.0 development for free, so there's
really no reason not to go to 2.0.

But I'd be surprised if anyone advised you to stick with 1.0.
