ADO.NET Guidance

I have a fairly large project I am working on that is running on .net 2.0 and SQL Server 2000. (I cannot upgrade to SQL Server 2005 unfortunately). The project will live on a server and consists of 5 custom and seperate exe processes that will all need to access and update data. Also, as an unfortunate requirement each process may have to execute multiple read and writes very frequently rather then keeping it all in memory and doing infrequent commit transactions. I would like some guidance, even in the form of URLS for how to write the most optimized [login to view URL] routines, keeping in mind that there will be many processes accessing the data at the same time. We will accept multiple bids if the information is useful. Bids should not be higher then $20.00 unless you are prepared to provide code samples. Thank you. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
