Besides ADO .NET

[Alan]

I am new to VB .NET and always hear database access using ADO .NET, is there
any things besides ADO .NET can access database ?

Hi Alan,

Not as far as I know, except for using old ADO and interop services (which
replicate conditions as they were in, say, VB6).

HTH,

You can still use the old data access methods by using COM Interop. But
that's not recommended. Why don't you want to use ADO.NET?

As I am very new to VB .NET and also heard of and found the books talking
about ADO.NET for accessing database. It seems it is the best or most
popular way to do database progamming ?

Using ADO.NET is the recommended way to access a database in a .NET
application.
