ADO.NET looks like a reasonable solution for database access from the Internet. But what about when the client and database server are on the same LAN? Is ADO.NET overkill? Should I use ADO instead to connect?
TIA,

ADO.NET is definitly not overkill. ADO.NET is simply the next version of ADO. Its SqlDataReader and SqlCommand objects provides a low resource intensive method for selecting, inserting and updating data.

If you are going with the .NET platform, I'd look at ADO.NET. However, if not, ADO is very stable and mature and works great.
I do agree with Jon, but am always wary of 1.0 products.

From what I heard at Pass ADO.Net using the SQL provider uses TDS directly and is supposed to be very fast. Will be interesting to see. I'm hoping to tackle a project in the next month or so that will let me start using ADO.Net in production.
