Connecting to a Database in a Visual C++ Application
With the ease of working with a database in web based programming languages such as PHP and ASP, database connections in Visual C++ are often overlooked. But C++ offers the versatility and sheer power that web based languages can't always muster up, and sometimes that comes in very handy.

Bringing SQL Server Data into Client as XML Data Islands
One of the most frustrating things to me is seeing developers doing new things, but in "old" ways. A classic example is one you may have seen yourself: Here we have a sophisticated client - side application that runs in Internet Explorer, we use XML Data Islands and XSLT transforms and parameters, templates, and we even use XMLHTTP from the client. And along with this we may have page upon page that needs to get a recordset from SQL Server - sometimes many recordsets, and bring them into the page as XML so we can do all our "new kind of cool stuff" with it. Well, that's great.

Using Disconnected Recordsets
Anyone who works with databases will probably at some stage have occasion to work with a particular Recordset over a period of time. However, it would not be practical or desirable to maintain an open connection to the database throughout as this would tie up connection resources. Instead, the user can take advantage of the server's ability to create disconnected Recordsets.
