Data Binding From VB6 to VB.Net

I have been programming (rather comfortably) in VB6 for
about a year. I work almost entirely with databases.

I have just purchased VisualStudio.Net and am trying to
wade through the totally different database connections.

I have read through numerous websites about it, but every
example I've seen about binding a datasource to an object
involves datagrids for some reason.

What about multiple text boxes on a page that reflect ONE
record of a database, with commands (buttons, now) to
navigate to the next record? What happened to rs.movenext
and rs.moveprevious?

Should I be getting a book on ADO.NET?

Any help?

When I started with VisualStudio Net I had the same thought as you now.

Fortunatly Microsoft has changed that behaviour by doing every example with
the datagrid, but there will be a lot of old stuff.

In/On MSDN you can find a lot of examples with databinding with all other
kind of things than the datagrid.

The recordset is disapeared yes. Now there is the dataset a total different
approach than the recordset. And the same, when I saw it the first time I
thougth: and that is so nice that recordsed. But when you are used to the
dataset, you will see that it has much more possibilities.

Use your help Visual.StudioNet and go looking for some "WalkThroughs" than
you will find a lot of nice starts.

I hope this helps a little bit,

But the first time it will be strange and don't think you are the only one.
