What are the major difference between classic ADO and ADO.NET?

• In ADO, we have a Recordset and in ADO.NET we have a DataSet.
• In Recordset, we can only have one table. If we want to accommodate more than one table, we need to do inner join and fill the Recordset. A DataSet can have multiple tables.
• All data is persisted in XML as compared to classic ADO where data is persisted in binary format.
