Against what type of datasource? Also, the objects you'll need most
likely reside in the System.Data namespace, so you might start
browsing through them in object browser and try to find the
appropriate classes.

The actual database is access.

Can I use Linq for example?

I wouldn't, I would use the OleDb components and access it like a
normal database.

Actually currently there is no way (out of the box) to query the access
database using LINQ.

How to use Microsoft Visual Basic .NET to connect to a Microsoft Access
database and to retrieve data
<URL:http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;821765>

Once you have the dataset containing the data, you can create a
'BindingSource' object, assign the 'DataSet' object to its 'DataSource'
property and then assign the binding source to the datagridview control's
'DataSource' property, for example.
