ADO.NET vs ADO

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Just a silly question probably...

I made the switch from VB6 to VB2005 when 2005 came out. Now I'm using 2008. When I started programming, VB5 was just out and I was using RDO. I loved ADO when it came out and quickly switched all my programs to use it.

I've tried to make the switch to ADO.NET, but just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing most of the time. I'm using it in just a couple of forms where I needed it to work with a DataGridView and to update a few records.

Am I the only stupid one out there that would rather use the old ADO? Is there an easy way to learn ADO.NET?
