From the reviews:

„Database programming in Microsoft’s . Net approach is accomplished via ADO. Net. … So in this book we might expect to find a detailed description of ADO. Net with C# examples. The author delivers on the expectation, covering ADO. Net in two of the 11 chapters. … it can be used as a reference text. … absolute beginners will find an abundance of useful information. … most of the content will more than satisfy beginners.“ (Daniel Moth, The Computer Bulletin, November, 2002)

„Database Programming with C# by Carsten Thomsen, is for people who have already done database programming in Visual Basic or Java and also know the basics of C# programming. … The appendix, showing connectivity to SQL Server 2000 using XML, is particularly useful. The coverage of unusual topics such as message queues and hierarchical databases demonstrates Thomsen’s mastery over . NET, making this book a must read, particularly for database programmers with basic knowledge of C#.“ (Alokesh Bhattacharyya, Computer Today, July, 2002)
