What is ADO.NET?

This article holds some important information and introduction to ADO.NET (ActiveX Data Objects for .NET). ADO was for the first time released in 1996 and it represented a new way of dynamically retrieving data from any database in ASP.NET programming.

ADO.NET is an object-oriented set of libraries that allows you to interact with data sources. Commonly, the data source is a database, but it could also be a text file, an Excel spreadsheet, or an XML file. But overall, it is used as a way to interact with a data base. ADO.NET is sometimes considered an evolution of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) technology, but was changed so extensively that it can be considered an entirely new product.

Thus, ADO.NET is the .NET technology for programmers to interact with data sources. You have several Data Providers, which allow communication with different data sources, depending on the protocols they use or what the database is.
