# DataAdapter in ADO.Net

Data [adapters](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12797/power-plug-adapters-your-perfect-travelling-companions) are an integral part of [ADO.NET](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/804/connection-pooling-in-ado-dot-net) managed providers, which are the set of [objects](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/145447/what-are-objects) used to communicate between a [data source](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/808/what-is-a-data-source) and a dataset. Adapters are used to [exchange](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126146/the-current-scenario-of-cryptocurrency-exchange-platforms) data between a data source and a dataset. In many [applications](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12847/how-to-choose-the-right-ethernet-cable-for-industrial-applications), this means [reading data](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12915/how-to-embed-asp-dot-net-with-sql-server-reading-data-and-changing-textbox-field) from a [database](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12226/use-of-database-in-sencha-extjs-and-insert-record-from-user-form-using-ajax) into a dataset, and then [writing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12997/5-essential-tips-on-resume-writing-for-business-analysts) changed data from the dataset back to the database. However, a data adapter can move data between any source and a dataset.
