Role of .Net data provider

What is the role of data provider?


The .NET data provider layer resides between the application and the database. Its task is to take care of all their interactions. The .NET Data provider can be demonstrated to be:
SQL Server data provider 
OLEDB data provider 
ODBC Data Provider


ADO.NET supports the following OLE DB Providers:
- SQLOLEDB - Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
- MSDAORA - Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle.
- Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 - OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Jet.

Compilation and Execution of .Net application

Describe how a .Net application is compiled and executed?


From the source code, the compiler generates Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) which is further used for the creation of an EXE or DLL. The CLR processes these at runtime. Thus, compiling is the process of generating this MSIL. The way you do it in .Net is as follows:
Right-click and select Build / Ctrl-Shift-B / Build menu, Build command
F5 - compile and run the application. 
Ctrl+F5 - compile and run the application without debugging.


Compilation can be done with Debug or Release configuration. The difference between these two is that in the debug configuration, only an assembly is generated without optimization. However, in release complete optimization is performed without debug symbols.
