How to connect to access db file from VS2020 (can't find System.Data.OleDb)?

[John HL]

Hello
I have been programming vba for some time and am now starting VB.NET. I need to connect to an existing access db file (access 2003). I downloaded VS2010 and found an example on the net. Here is most of the code:

Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Dim cn As OleDbConnection
    Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
    Dim dr As OleDbDataReader
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Try
            cn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\temp\emp.mdb;")
            'provider to be used when working with access database
            cn.Open()
            cmd = New OleDbCommand("select * from table1", cn)
            dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
            While dr.Read()
                TextBox1.Text = dr(0)
                TextBox2.Text = dr(1)
                TextBox3.Text = dr(2)
                ' loading data into TextBoxes by column index
            End While
 

I am getting this error message:
1 End of Statement Expected

I have tried to add a reference to System.Data.OleDb but
it doesn't appear in the add reference box. System.Data.OleDb is checked in the Imported namespaces window. I have tried changing the .NET Framework but, no help. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

John

Hello
After taking another look I noticed that the error refered to line 2, which is:

Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

I erased everything from "Inherits" to the end of the line, now it is:

Public Class Form1

The example code now works. Why, I don't know. Do you?
