RSSBus ADO.NET Provider for SalesForce V2

The RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider allows developers to build .NET applications using the familiar ADO.NET interfaces. The RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider abstracts the underlying data source into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update data.

The Getting Started section explains the how RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider integrates with Visual Studio. It covers connecting to a live data source and interacting with data through the Server Explorer.

The Working with ADO.NET section shows some common programming idioms which will give you a quick preview of the ADO.NET API. The Supported SQL part shows the SQL syntax supported by the RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider and points out limitations if any.

The RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider also supports LINQ and Entity Framework as introduced in .NET 3.5. Working with Entity Framework covers creating entity models with Entity Framework and performing queries with LINQ.

An important feature of the RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider is the ability to easily cache data locally. This allows the RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider to be used in an offline mode when access to the data source is not possible. It also enables complex SQL queries which otherwise are not supported by the underlying data source itself. See the section Caching Data for more details on this feature.

Finally, please refer to the Provider Schema to see the tables, views, and stored procedures available for the RSSBus Salesforce ADO.NET Provider.
