While looking for some additional resources for studying to the exam, I came across a very good Microsoft webcasts on ADO.NET. Some of them talk about ADO.NET 2.0 but there's also a few that present ADO.NET 3.5 material (Sync Framework, Data Services, Entity Framework and applications for Microsoft SQL Server 2008). There is also a few MSDN virtual labs that help you get some work experience with those topics. And even though some web parts have been intended for ADO.NET 2.0 and they might seem to be outdated, they contain a great deal of information that's not obsolate and can be still very useful for eveyone who is studying to the exam. What I like about it is not only the fact that I can watch them as TV and learn at the same time, but that they present a lot of different aspects of ADO.NET, which normally to cover that material would require buying at least four books. I hope you'll enjoy them and you'll find them helpful for studying for the 70-561 exam.
