Softgroup .Net Data Objects is a .Net component that gives to developers powerful objects for accessing, editing, and updating data from a wide range of databases throw an internal system named "Scripts Drivers".

With Softgroup .Net Data Objects developers can especially easy migrate old Microsoft Visual Basic data-oriented projects that use Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) to Microsoft ADO.NET technology based on .NET Framework without rewriting many lines of code.

In fact in order to facilitate the migration of source code Softgroup .Net Data Objects contains most of same objects (with most same Properties and Methods) of Microsoft ADO (Connection, Recordset, Fields, Field etc.)

In addition Softgroup .Net Data Objects contains other useful SQL objects and functions to query, insert, update and delete tables data on a database using auto-generated standard SQL statements that can be executed in all supported databases.

The most common usage of Softgroup .Net Data Objects is to query and manipulate the structure of a relational or non-relational database, retrieve and display the results in an application, and let users make and save changes to the data.

• Open a Connection to a database
• Easy manipulation of database objects (Databases, Tables, Indexes, Primary Keys and Foreign Keys, Views, Procedures, Triggers, Groups, Users, Permissions etc…)
• Perform advanced operations on Databases like: enumerate existing databases, create or delete e database, backup or restore a database etc.
• Multilanguage advanced dialogs (with Unicode support) to Connect to a database, backup and restore operations (use of dialogs is optional)
• Querying a database using SQL and displaying the results
• Executing commands and stored procedures with parameters
• Dynamically create Recordset objects, to hold, navigate, and manipulate data like Microsoft ADO Recordset object also with Bookmark support
• Performing transactional database operations
