The chapter begins with a section illustrating the basic terminology and classes specific to ADO.NET and disconnected data as well as the basics of constructing those objects and connecting to a data source. From there, you'll begin a section illustrating how to perform basic database operations (creating, reading, updating, and deleting of records). Included in that section are tips on handling the common issues of dealing with disconnected data and auto-increment primary keys, and how to specify primary key information for untyped datasets.The section ends with a fully functional MFC maintenance application using the ADO.NET against a sample database. At this point, you'll be fairly comfortable with the basics of reading and writing data to a disconnected data table.
