difficulty creating dataobjects

Question

I am migrating from ASP to ASP.net and am having difficulty creating datasets and datareaders....The listing I have from reference books dont seem to work with the actual ASP.net environment...like when I type the book has a line thus: dim dsshops as new odbcdatareader but in the IDE of .net you only have dim......new odbc.odbcdatareader and then after accepting the line of code a curly underscore appears under dsshops saying that it is private in this context and cannot be referenced Can anyone help me out Can you put this code in a command button?

Well I'm not really into VB.net but dim dsshops as new odbcdatareader seems to be OK. I think that this is the right way to declare and initialize a variable. What is dim......new odbc.odbcdatareader ? Is it autogenerated? It's no problem to put this code in a command button onclick event.
