Help with connecting to SQL database

[Seema_r101]

Well im so frustrated at this point Im start this new job,and I don't know much about databases. So the boss tell me Im mus do this webpage that has multiple choose questions so that he test the staff. Well let me start with my problem.

I have to have about 100 questions in a sql database,and 3000 possible answers. Problem is I don't know how to connect to database with code.
Could some please help me. Could you explain in detail what everything means eg.datasource,dataset and so on. Maybe if I know what all this means I would know what to do.

Im sure you must be wondering you would I want to coding in this. Reason being is that Ill have to display all questions in labels,and all answers in radiobuttons. All have to have random questions. And then random answers. Not everyone answering this test must have the same answer.


But please I really first need to be able to connect to the database.

Im using visual studio 2005->asp.net 2.0->vb.net
ms sql server 2005

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem
