is there any way to create a ms access database using vb.net and ado.net.

is there any way to create a ms access database using vb.net and ado.net. I know that i can reference the ado com controls but I don't want to do that if I don't have to

I cant see a way to create an Access database outside its object library, ie not without ADO, but I've might overlooked something.

Well , try this :

It would be nice to know what the Import statements are. :confused:

It must be :
Imports System.Data

the code is not using any other reference but I am not quite sure of that (sounds like so)

It looks like there is no .NET way to do so you just have to use a reference to ADO and ADOX and use ADOX to make the database the same as in VB6.
