The e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to study B{sup 0} decays to D{sub s}{sup (*)+} and D{sup *-} mesons. The production fraction of inclusive D{sub s}{sup (*)+} and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined. Exclusive decays B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} D{sub s}{sup (*)+} have been identified with a partial reconstruction technique and their branching ratios have been measured. Fully reconstructed B{sup 0} decays in the hadronic modes B{sup 0} {yields} D{sup *-} {pi}{sup +} and B{sup 0} {yields} D{sup *-} {rho}{sup +} have been also studied and the measurement of their absolute branching fractions is reported.
