Hi All,

For those still confused on how ADO.Net works and how to use it to access and update data, one thing that has helped me is the Data Access Application Block that MS has published. This is two classes that encapsulate the various data access methods into some simple methods. Reading about and looking at this code has taught me alot about ADO.Net and how to use it. Also, you can use the ApplicationBlock right in your aps if you want.

You can find it at

This block is based on the Data Access Architecture guide at

I know these have helped me alot.
