That's a very broad "tie my shoelaces" kind of question. I suggest you do some reading on ADO.NET. Try some of the tutorial links in my signature, which all have ADO.NET sections. Also, do a member search for TechGnome as his signature also has some ADO.NET-specific tutorial links.

Here's something you might be able to do to help you learn. I don't have VS 2005 yet, but in VS 2003 you can build a form using the form wizard. This wizard allows you to specify many aspects of your form including: database connectivity, form appearance and behavior, and more. When it's all finished what you have is a multi=-tiered solution that connects to a database and displays your data in your form with navigation buttons as well. Looking at the code, you will see the connection object, the data adapter, the dataset, the binding statement which show how the dataset is bound to the form, navigation button code, and more. It's very helpful and may answer your question. In VS 2003 to run the wizard, all you do is right click on the project name in solution explorer and select add new item. When the dialog box appears, choose the form wizard. It will walk you through from there. Hope that helps.
