Appendix D: ADO Samples
The MDAC SDK contains several sample applications that demonstrate usage of ADO and RDS code. These samples are intended to help you learn how to use ADO and RDS, but are not intended to be deployed on production servers.
Note Companies, names, and data used in samples are fictitious unless otherwise noted.
From the Microsoft Data Access SDK root folder, these sample applications are installed to the Samples subfolder. For more information about installing and locating items in the Platform SDK, see Locating MDAC Components.
To get started with the ADO and RDS sample applications, open default.htm from the ADO and RDS samples folders, respectively. These files describe each available sample application and explain how to configure and run the samples how to browse the sample source code.
The ADO documentation also contains code examples in multiple languages, which are included as topics within this online help. For more information about these examples, see ADO Code Examples.
Many other sample code resources are available. Visual Studio documentation and the MSDN Library contain a variety of sample applications and documentation that can help you learn about ADO and RDS.
