ADO.NET

<p>ADO.NET is a <a href="/facts/Data_access/j7m1xs1U">data access</a> technology from the <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> <a href="/facts/.NET_Framework/J6QDAUhP">.NET Framework</a> that provides communication between relational and non-relational systems through a common set of components.
ADO.NET is a set of computer software components that programmers can use to access data and data services from a database. It is a part of the <a href="/facts/Base_Class_Library/sbGvv2nB">base class library</a> that is included with the Microsoft .NET Framework. It is commonly used by programmers to access and modify data stored in <a href="/facts/Relational_DBMS/pEKGmJLy">relational database systems</a>, though it can also access data in non-relational data sources. ADO.NET is  sometimes  considered an evolution of <a href="/facts/ActiveX_Data_Objects/dU8V95sx">ActiveX Data Objects</a> (ADO) technology, but was changed so extensively that it can be considered an entirely new product.
