I am looking in my VB.NET book and I don't see anything about the ADO data control that was in my VB6 book. Anyone know how I get this functionality? I am connecting to an Access database. This is basically the control that tells you what record you are on and has two buttons on each side; press the far left button to get the very first record, press the next button to scroll back by one, the next on scrolls forwards by one, and the one to the far right takes you to the very last record. Like this picture if you were on record 16...
|< < 16 > >|

That's because ADO from VB6 has been replaced with ADO.NET in .NET. ADO.NET doesn't contain UI controls. It contains all the stuff you need to get at data. Based on the application you are building (winform, webform, console app, windows service) you have to set up the controls based on that application's UI namespace (System.Windows.Forms, System.Web.UI, etc).

I can get to the data, but I don't know how to access multiple records. I'm doing a winform and want to have text boxes that display my data then the user can search the database by filling in any of the text boxes and hitting the search button. But how do I access multiple data records if the query brings up more than one...? I'm lost.

That's nice...just work it like a 2D array after getting the dataset filled. Made my own buttons for add, delete, update, next, previous, showall, clear and find. Who needs the ADO controls...hehe.:D
