newbie database question

When I say newbie, I mean I just finished loading .Net on my system this morning. So please take it easy on me.

Anyway, I have a project (or at least the starts of a project) in VB 6 and am wanting to convert to .Net. I did the upgrade wizard and the .Net version does not run. So I would like to start from fresh in .Net to help myself learn.

I have gotten my connection to my SQL server and belive I am getting data out of it, but I am not sure how to tell if I actually am getting info.

The VB 6 project gets the data and puts it into a collection and populates a treeview. How do I get the contents of my DataSet in order to populate the collection??

I hope this is understandable...

Thanks

if you just wanted to verify that you're getting data, I would simply use

console.writeline(your data here)

that would at least verify it for you and would same time before you go through the next phase of working with a tree view.(that's a problem I'm having now)
