>I am working on a DataAccess class (as kindly suggested by Bonnie Berent). I need to relearn (not that I knew that stuff much before <g>), methods of the ADO.NET to connect to SQL Server. I have a book on ASP.NET for .NET 1.1. Was there much changed in ADO.NET 2.0 to warrant me getting a book specific to ADO.NET 2.0?

I work primarily with 1.1, but I have done some work with 2.0. I don't remember anything too remarkably different. I would say learn from your 1.1 book and get comfortable with that, and then you will probably find some differences along the way.
