Give up on MySQL

Using VB.NET without using ADO.NET ??

After thinking and trying and confusing, I give up on MySQL
'cause I can't use the .NET Connector - means I won't use ADO.NET
and the second reason I can't fill DataGrid using data from MySQL, so strange

So, I decide to back to the basic, use SQLServer instead of MySQL
And that means I'll use ADO.NET off course :p
Eventhough that won't make me finish this project faster
'cause I'll have to learn this new things
But, I won't learn if not being pushed this way right? ;p
