    ADO.Net communication is limited to tabular set of data or responses where as WCF communication can have XML type,soap messages.
    .Net Applications ------ ORM -----ADO.NET and .Net, Java , etc.......WCF ---------ADO.NET
    Did they ask, WCF data services and ADO.NET data services? If that was the case then both are the same.WCF Data Services, formerly ADO.NET Data Services(Astoria), and this is a platform for Data Services. Regards Baimey

    I'm not sure of the answer but what I answered was the communication in WCF happens using XML and/or over a network communication channel. And communication in ADO.NET happens over socket.?

    But I'm not at all sure about this. Can someone please tell me the correct answer?

    Thank you.!!
