It looks like you aren't using the command object's properties to get into
the database.

Did you set the properties of your connection object the "ado.net" way?
ie:

Public Sub CreateMyOleDbCommand()
Dim mySelectQuery As String = _
"SELECT * FROM Categories ORDER BY CategoryID"
Dim myCommand As New OleDbCommand(mySelectQuery)
myCommand.Connection = New OleDbConnection _
("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=NWIND_RW.MDB")
myCommand.CommandTimeout = 20
End Sub

By the way, that example code (from the sdk) is a crappy example since it
has a hardcoded connection string. An advantage of ASP.net is that you can
store connection strings in the web.config file (one central place) and then
retreive them by doing this: AppSettings("ConnString")
