Is ADO really dying?

Hello All -

I keep seeing posts stating something like "ADO is dead", or that MS is moving to another technology for data access. I make use of ADO in almost all of my applications, and the last time I looked at the "Data Access Roadmap"(???) on MSDN, it stated that MS was still going to keep enhancing ADO.

So what is the real truth? And what is now the recommended technology for accessing SQL Server databases from application code?

Any advice or words of wisdim are greatly appreciated.

News to me, on .Net 3.0 and looking at .Net 3.5 in beta and all I can see is yet more ADO.Net, maybe someone is pulling your leg ? :) unless you are still on VB6 in which case about time you moved off there for sure..

Yes - that's what I have been seeing too. Thanks for the reply - I guess I can keep coding away!
