ADO.NET Introduction

• JDS.2GO is written in a Microsoft .NET
  Framework
• The database layer is written in a legacy
  database interfacenot designed to work with .NET
• The legacy interface is hard to maintain due to
  lack of documentation
• The interface designed for .NET Applications is
  ADO.NET

14
ADO.NET ADO.NET Advantages

• Replacing the ADO layer with ADO.NET has
  numerous advantages
• A wealth of ADO.NET documentation awaits future
  developers of JDS.2GO
• The JDS.2GO software will not be crutched by
  legacy interfaces
• This will enable JDS.2GO to be on the cutting
  edge of technology

15
ADO.NET Upgrade

• The upgrade of JDS.2GO to use ADO.NET will be
  transparent
• The database layer of JDS.2GO functions behind
  the scenes
• The end user will be able to make no distinction
  of any change
• Future development of data access within JDS.2GO
  will be easier as JDS.2GO is shaped to meet the
  needs of the project partner
