SQL Server Reporting Services makes it easy to build reports from database data, but what if the data isn't in a database? This article shows you how to take advantage of Reporting Services' unique extensibility model to build reports from ADO.NET datasets.

There may be requirement where in data in an Excel sheet has to be manipulated inside .NET Applications. Although there are many ways to achieve this (like using Excel object of COM), the most preferred way is to use the .NET Data providers to achieve this. This article discusses on the same.

Modern applications require more sophisticated data access features than a simple connection to SQL Server. Data needs to be available in distributed scenarios as well as offline scenarios. This article provides an architectural overview and implementation examples that support these scenarios.

Windows Forms 2.0 increases support for data binding via the new BindingNavigator and BindingSource objects, which will save you a lot of effort. Find out how you can perform sorting and searching tasks using data binding and simplify the display of master-detail relationships in tables.

The XmlDataSource control makes accessing, filtering, and transforming XML data a simple, code-free process. Additionally, the XPath() and XPathSelect() databinding methods added to ASP.NET 2.0 make displaying particular XML values or binding entire XML nodesets just as easy. And the XML data accessed can be from a local file or automatically downloaded from a specified URL. In this article we will examine how to use the XmlDataSource control and the XPath() and XPathSelect() databinding methods, displaying the results in a variety of data Web controls..

Nowadays archiving, searching and processing the explosion of data generated in applications means coming up with nontraditional ways of dealing with the data. NoSQL solutions offer intriguing and unique ways of handling the volumes of data available to us. Additionally, 10Gen offers an open source distributed document-oriented solution called MongoDB.

Iqbal Khan discusses how developers handle data relationships while caching data, and shows through source code examples how those relationships can be mapped. The net effect is that the application doesn’t have to keep track of those relationships in the cache. Rather, the cache is aware of them and handles them correctly.

An application that creates a C# class to read/write data to/from an Access, SQLite, or XML database.

The Caching Application Block's provider mechanism lets you create a custom provider that stores cached data anywhere you want. It was this that made me wonder if it was possible to cache data within or through a web service, which would allow the provider to cache its data almost anywhere—remotely or locally—without having to write specific code that is directly integrated within Enterprise Library.

The principle is simple enough. Instead of having the backing store provider within the Caching Application Block interact directly with the backing store (the usual approach, as implemented in the Isolated Storage provider and Database provider), the backing store provider simply packages up the data and sends it to a web service..
