Microsoft Introduces ADO+

As an "evolutionary improvement" to ActiveX Data Objects, ADO+ gives the developer more freedom and support for platform interoperability and program scalability. The new improvements make code writing simpler and easier to read with the use of "strongly typed programming". Other improvements in Visual Studio 7, such as the color-coded XML designer, are set to make ADO+ and programming easier and more powerful. Read the MSDN article about ADO+ for more information.
