Hi
  Im trying to develope my first serious .Net app using ASP.Net and ADO.Net
but I need some advices before I Start :

1) Which one do you recomend more using BDP.Net or SqlConnection and other
Native ADO.Net components

2) if I use BDP.Net ; am I going to have the same problems that I had with
using BDE for hosting (I mean there must be some extera dll's installed on
the server and ...) or is BDP.Net just using .Net native features and can be
hosted by any .Net supported Host?

3) Can you guide me to some estential and complete documentations for .Net
database programming (of course I prefer them to use Delphi ;-) )
by the way I have studied some articles / tutorials on BDN and also I found
a little in delphi.about.com but I couldn't get the whole point from them.

4) Whats your Idea about VCL.net ; You know I have spent my whole windows
application developing life on Delphi and VCL and it was always a great
pleasur but recently borland has really put me down :-( thus I do* prefer
using VCL.Net but I'm not sure about its future :-( , so can you please tell
me how powerfull is VCL.net and do you recommend me to still use Borland
Solutions or switch to Micro$oft solutions at all (how disgusting it is :( )
