Programmaticall y creating ADO.NET database

I am an amateur programmer and trying to move from VB6 to VB.net.

I can't figure out how to create a ADO.NET database in code. I know how to
create a dataset and wonder whether there is a way to "export" it into a new
empty database.

Since I am at it: How do you programmaticall y store a query into an ADO
database?
I am using ADOX to create an ADO database.

Thanks for any help.

"How do you programmaticall y store a query into an ADO database?"

You want to create a stored procedure? or are you using MS Access to
store a query and recall it later? It would help to know the database
you are talking to.

Peter,

In addition to Chris, you need to know what database for that.

However we have some samples on our website for that.

Search or take the AdoNet part.

I hope this helps,

I am trying to create an Access database in code. In VB6 I used the
following code to create a ADO database.
cat.Create("Pro vider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=" & strFileName & ";" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5")

How is this done for ADO.net?

With respect of the Query question: I used for a DAO database the following
line to store a query.

newQdf = db.CreateQueryD ef("StartingDat e", strSql)

What is the equivalent for ADO? (I don't mean ADO.NET but the "old" ADO)

Peter,

You cannot use ADONET to create an Access database.

However if it is there you can use it, did you see this sample.

http://www.vb-tips.com/default.aspx?...1-d6dda3c888c8

I saw that you saw the link to ADO

ADO had in past some very famous football players.

I think that the most famous player was Ad Mansveld but he is not the only
one, however I can be wrong in that. It was a long time ago, in the time
there was also DOS which was number 4 and that kind of clubs.

Just after the introduction of proffesional footbal in holland and before
that.

However, I am not from theHague, I am and was never a real football fan.

Same method. There is no native method in ADO.NET

If you don't want to use DAO or ADOX (ADO) you can use Jet SQL:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...l/acadvsql.asp

For ADO you use ADOX (Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.x for DDL and Security):

Just wondering if anyone has a simple example of creating a gridview completely programmatically, i'm not doing anything terribly sophisticated. When creating the gridview declaratively evertying works fine, however programmatically, while the grid will display data that exsists in the database, any operation on the data ( editing/updating/deleting ) seems to cause a rowdeleting/updating etc error. Or is this simply not meant to be done?
