I'm trying to do this...

'<--------------------Start Code---------------------->'
Function GetReader() as SqlDataReader
    Dim strConn as String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strConn")
    Dim conn As New SqlConnection (strCONN)
    Dim strSQL = "Select * from Table1"
    Dim oCmd as New SqlCommand (strSQL)
    oCmd.Connection = conn
    conn.Open

    Dim oRead As SqlDataReader = oCmd.ExecuteReader ()

    Set GetReader = oRead 'This line doesn't work

    conn.Close

End Function
'<---------------------End Code----------------------->'

What I want to do is set up a function that executes a stored procedure and returns the reader. When I try to run this I get a message saying "Set" isn't supported anymore. I'm cool with that. Now I'm just wondering how to duplicate that functionality, or something similar, in .Net.

Thanks,

Jerry

Return oRead
