Your kidding me right?

Why don't you start by reading a book, such as Sahil Malik's Pro ado.net 2
(assuming you are on .net 2)

Practices for VB Programmers (APress)).

Depending on your type of application ADO.NET datasets may not be
necessarily the best choice. Datasets work well where you need a
completely disconnnected solution that can be scaled to hundreds or
thousands of users. However, IMHO, for small business applications
that support a few users where you would previously have used connected
ADO recordsets then ADO.NET involves a lot of overhead - both
programming and also runtime.
You can of course still use ADODB in .NET for these type of
applications - however you miss out on one of the major benefits of the
.NET architecture - data binding. If you are building this type of
application or particularly if you are porting existing VB6 ADO code
then Infralution has a solution that can help. Our Virtual Data
Objects library allows you to bind .NET controls to ADODB recordsets.
If you are interested you can find more information at

Thanks to all who replied -- all your suggestions were good
