What is ADO.NET?

ADO stands for Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects. ADO.NET is one of Microsoft’s Data Access Technologies using which we can communicate with different data sources. It is a part of the .NET Framework which is used to establish a connection between the .NET Application (Console, WCF, WPF, Windows, MVC, Web Form, etc.) and different data sources. The Data Sources can be SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, XML, etc. ADO.NET consists of a set of predefined classes that can be used to connect, retrieve, insert, update and delete data (i.e. performing CRUD operation) from data sources.
