What's New?	Convert VB.NET to C# NEW! After the success of Convert C# to VB .NET, we are now introducing the reverse conversion. Follow the link... Convert C# to VB.NET (Now available offline with source code!!) The Web Service to Convert C# source code to VB.NET is now available with full source code as an offline tool with popular demand. It includes a WinForm EXE, a DLL that performs the conversion and also includes full source code of the converter. Querying ADO.NET DataSets Microsoft introduced ADO.NET as a new model for accessing data through the .NET Framework. Like most new models, ADO.NET has its share of limitations. Unfortunately, the current architecture in ADO.NET does not support set-based access to the in-memory DataSets: in other words, it is not possible to execute SQL statements against DataTables in a DataSet. This article explains how to create a tool that provides set-based querying capabilities on DataTables in a DataSet.
