Several significant enhancements have been made to ADO.NET 2.0 in the areas of improved performance, increased flexibility, and added features. In my last column (Data Points: DataSet and DataTable in ADO.NET 2.0), I discussed the improvements made to the DataTable class, the effect of the powerful new LoadOption enumerator, how to change a row's state, and the new DataTableReader class. In this installment of Data Points, I will continue to explore significant enhancements that are introduced with ADO.NET 2.0, such as the new SqlConnectionStringBuilder, improvements to the DataView, batch updates, and improved DataSet serialization.
