Pocket PC connectivity out to MSDE/SQL server sat far far far away

Can anyone Help !!!!!

I am having trouble connecting out from a iPAQ pocket PC using ADO and Visual Basic .NET

I have found that when trying to reference ADO components VB.NET just bites back emmmmm

Methology of: CreateObject ("adodb ect……..
Obviously this does not work.

Having just copied a working piece of code from another application ( pure COM ect... ), I myself, in my stupidity, thought that I could just drag and drop -

Anyway all that I am trying to achieve is to write a simple Visual Basic app either in VB 6 (preferred) or .NET which ever is the easiest and make contact with the MSDE/SQL server, all that i need is a relatively simple example to work off and someone who has knowledge of what components I basically need

Has anyone ever mastered this task???
