What are the advantages of integrating ADO.NET with XML?


Options:

1. A disconnected architecture
2. An improvement of processing time
3. Bypassing of firewalls

The two main advantages of integrating ADO.NET with XML are an improvement of processing time and the bypassing of firewalls

A disconnected architecture is incorrect beacuse , The main difference between ADO.NET and its earlier version, ADO (ActiveX Data Object), is that ADO.NET uses a disconnected architecture and doesn't work directly on the information in the database but on a local copy of that information.

An improvement of processing time is correct because , ADO uses COM to manage the transmission of data, which means that all data has to be translated into the types recognized by COM before being translated back to the database types. This involves a large processing overhead, which ADO.NET avoids by using XML.

Bypassing of firewalls is correct. Because ADO.NET uses XML, which is transmitted over HTML port 80, it passes through most company firewalls.
