Tutorials on connecting to VB .NET databases

[lakepeir]

Hello,

I'm interested in learning about databases in VB .NET that can be used
to retrieve and write to. I currently have an access database that I
would like to get data from. There's a lot of terms I don't quite
understand- datatable, dataview, dataset, oledataadapeter,
oledbconnection, etc.

Thanks.

I found David Sceppa's book, "ADO.Net 2.0 The Core Reference" to be
invaluable. It explains and displays how to use all of the elements
below. It concentrates on SQLServer, but does discuss OLEDB, with a
extra section at the back. Frankly, I'd download SQLServer Express
instead of using Access if I were you...
