ADO.NET is the data access component for the .NET Framework.
ADO.NET leverages the power of XML to provide disconnected access to data. ADO.NET is made of a set of classes that are used for connecting to a database, providing access to relational data, XML, and application data, and retrieving results. ADO.NET data providers contain classes that represent the provider's Connection, Command, DataAdapter and DataReader objects (among others).
