You are using 'classic vb' (VB6 and lower) ?
If so, look in MSDN Help for Data-aware Classes, "Creating Data-Aware
Classes"
For a quick view open a project and Add Class Module. Select "Data Source".
That creates a class with the correct properties and provides the
GetDataMember() method. This class in conjuction with the Binding Collection
is all you need.
