DateReader is an forward only and read only cursor type if you are accessing data through DataRead it shows the data on the web form/control but you can not perform the paging feature on that record(because it's forward only type). Reader is best fit to show the Data (where no need to work on data)

DataAdapter is not only connect with the Databse(through Command object) it provide four types of command (InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, DeleteCommand, SelectCommand), It supports to the disconnected Architecture of .NET show we can populate the records to the DataSet. where as Dataadapter is best fit to work on data.

Answered by: Deepak on: Feb 15th, 2013

1. A DataReader works in a connected environment, whereas DataSet works in a disconnected environment.

2. A DataSet represents an in-memory cache of data consisting of any number of inter related DataTable objects. A DataTable object represents a tabular block of in-memory data.

Data Adapters are integral part of ADO.Net.  It is simply a link b/w data reader and data. Adapters are used to exchange data between data source and dataset.

1) A DataSet can represent an entire relational database in memory, complete with tables, relations, and views, A Recordset can not.

2) A DataSet is designed to work without any continuing connection to the original data source; Recordset maintains the contentious connection with the original data source.

3) There's no concept of cursor types in a DataSet, They are bulk loaded, while Recordset work with cursors and they are loaded on demand.

4) DataSets have no current record pointer, you can use For Each loops to move through the data. Recordsets have pointers to move through them.

A Partial class is a class that can be split into two or more classes. This means that a class can be physically separated into other parts of the class within the same namespace. All the parts must use the partial keyword. All the other classes should also have the same access modifier. At the compile time, all the partial classes will be treated as a single class. Let us list some advantages of having partial classes.

HTTP Handlers can be used to process custom requests that may not be in the standard supported format like .htm, .aspx, .asmx etc. One example will be RSS feed processing . One can write .rss  handler which can be configured in the IIS to accept and delegate the processing to the custom handler written to produce customized output. There are 3 basic steps that need to be performed to make a HTTP handler work properly .
a. Create Handler calss which implements IHttpHandler interface or IHttpAsyncHandler for Asynchrounous handler. IsReusable property and the ProcessRequest method is must be implememented in the Handler class
b. Register the handler class in the web.config file of the application or machine.config
c. Specify the mapping in IIS (Website->Properties->configuration->mappings) add new extension with executable as "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll" ( assumes default installation)

Yes.

1. SQLCMD is the utility which supports command line interface to perform SQL operations. Output data in xml file & do opertions!
Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162773.aspx

2. Alternate way to fetch data is enabling SQL server option which allows to provides data on web in XML format (IDK where it is but yes it was there in SQL 2k). Its data on http so you can read & process it just like a web service but cant perform operations.

I am sure there are other ways too! like

1. Create own database format other then SQL

2. Set up API in other application to fetch/process data in other application & set up custom components to store/process them.

Enjoy!
