ADO.NET is a framework that allows C# applications to connect to and interact with data sources. It provides consistent access to data in sources like SQL Server through types that expose data services. These types include Connection, Command, DataReader, and DataAdapter. ADO.NET acts as a bridge between C# applications and data sources, allowing applications to retrieve, manipulate, and update data from sources using C#.

1. In about a paragraph and in your own words, describe exactly what ADO.NET is and how it
relates to C#.
Solution
The ADO.NET is a application which acts like a bridge between the application and the
datasource to communicate with each other. ADO.NET is a set of types that exposes data access
services to the .NET programmer. ADO.NET provides consistent access to data source such as
microsoft SQL Server as well as data sources exposed through OLE DB and XML. This
ADO.NET is used to connect to the data source in order to retrieve, manipulate and update the
data. It is the integral part of .Net framework. ADO.NET provides set of libraries for data source
communication under the following namespaces:
These 4 namespaces contains sameset of types like : Connection, Command, DataReader,
DataAdapter, CommandBuilder,etc.,
Each and every operation we perform on a Data source involves 3 steps:
C# is one of the programming language in the .NET framework we can use this C# as the
programming language for the ADO.NET in order to connect to the data base
