How do I create an ADODB connection?

[shaakunthala]

I am new to database programming.

Can anybody please tell me how to connect to an existing database using ADODB?

It is good if you could give a simple explanation.

Thank you.

You should not be using ADODB. You should be using ADO.NET. There are numerous tutorials available on the Web on the topic, as well as the MSDN documentation. Exactly how you do it depends on various factors and in many cases there will be very little code because most of the work is done in the IDE.

Thank you for taking time to reply. I understand that ADODB is outdated.

Can you briefly show me how to connect using ADO.NET?

Thank you.
