I strongly recommend you go pick up a decent book. The one I used
to learn C# is: Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003 Kick Start. I
believe they have this book in VB.NET as well. It will give you
an accelerated introduction to programming with .NET (including
data access). It's been my experience, that while you can learn a
language pretty decently by just jumping in and working with it,
you will definitely learn it better and faster if you grab a good
reference book.
