ado in vb.net

[AOLBoy]

I am new to vb.net and trying to connect a datagrid to an Access database via ODBC.

In VB6 I used an ADO data control and set the properties to use my ODBC and then set the recordsource with an SQL string. I then linked the datagrid to this ADO Control. This involved no direct coding.

I can't seem to work out how to achieve this in VB.net. Can anybody help me, or is vb.net a whole new ball-game?

In .NET, System.Data and System.Data.Oledb namespaces contains all the functionality of pre-.NET ADO. Check these namespaces and you will get almost everything you need for your database application.

You can use Dataset, BindingSource and DataNavigator controls (from toolbox in Visual Studio 2005) to get all (and more) functionality of ADO Data Control of VB6.

Hope it helps.
