Search on ADO .NET and you will find plenty. To put it short: It is the data access layer on the .NET platform.

I was wondering if you might extend my reach a bit. I just tried to google on "ADO.NET" and came up no info of any sort. I must be missing something? Just what is ADO.NET?

Presumably, this is where the extendability of the .NET framework and the forthcoming version of MapInfo Pro "may" excel. Because the underlying engine behind the MapInfo Table data source is now ADO.NET, and if the folks at MapInfo have exposed the classes that are necessary, you could "in theory" write your own data provider that utililized the Postgis data source. I say "may" because I do not know if this truly possible, and the folks at MapInfo would be better at answering whether or not I've simply bought into marketing "spin" or rather a new capability does exist in writing custom data provider classes. So MapInfo folks, can this be done? Are there a sifficient amount of classes exposed as part of the MapInfo .NET namespace to accomodate such a thing?
