ADO.NET & exam 70-316

I'm an experienced C++ programmer, who's worked mostly on Unix. So ADO.NET
is a new thing for me. I bought Rebecca Riordan's ADO.NET Step by Step to
prepare for the MCAD certification, and I will say only that I would not
recommend it to developers on any level. I expect better for > $40.

So: can anyone recommend a good book on ADO.NET that doesn't go *too* deeply
into it for exam 70-316? I've got the Wrox book; their books tend to be
repetitive, but the repetition might help me develop muscle memory for
Visual Studio.

I would hope that *all* books written on ADO.NET go "*too* deeply" into
it. Otherwise, the book would be a failure, n'est ce pas?

Not if the avowed purpose of the book is to help you get MCAD certification.

 

I would avoid buying more than one book per exam.

Really, a book focused on the ADO.NET portion of an exam should be
little more than a leaflet.

 

Thanks, that was implicitly my question: just how much ADO is there on this
exam?

 

I can't tell you. It would violate the NDA.

I can tell you this: there's nothing on the exam about ADO.NET that you
wouldn't already know by actually having used ADO.NET.
