ADO.NET

Implementation of the ADO.NET interfaces and common abstract classes present in the System.Data namespace of the .NET Framework: IDbConnection, IDbCommand, and IDbDataAdapter.

It allows users to interact with a DSE cluster using a common .NET data access pattern.

ADO.NET design limits how you can interact with DSE clusters (sync only, open / close pattern), for that reason it is recommended that you use the Core component of the driver instead.

Example

var connection  = new CqlConnection(connectionString);
connection.Open();
try
{
   var command = connection.CreateCommand();
   command.CommandText = "UPDATE tbl SET val = 'z' WHERE id = 1";
   command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
finally
{
   connection.Close();
}
