Getting started with ADO/winforms. Cannot find good example

I have read plenty of articles explaining the various properties of a form but I need a sample application or tutorial that could for examples creates a application that manipulates a DB and maybe has a few different forms that interact with each other.

I have created a ASP.NET site and I am looking to create a VB.NET app version.

Does anyone have any links to samples or articles

That taskvision is overkill

    well its not so much data binding and ADO I can do that .. its more the theory of developing a multi-form winform app. I cannot find anything on the web 

    So I guess Ill just follow the flow of the ASP.NET pages I made in that each form will be like a different page and when a new form is loaded the old is destroyed. Seems simple to me

    You'll find a bunch of walkthroughs on the MSDN site (and on gotdotnet.com) that walk you through using the ADO.NET tools in Visual Studio for binding data, and working with it. Adding a Data Form Wizard to your project (from the Project|Add New menu item) and investigating the code they create is useful. Also, I found David Sceppa's book from Microsoft Press to be invaluable, learning ADO.NET. If you're interested, you can get CD-based training from <a href="http://www.appdev.com">AppDev</a> (a commercial here, since I co-wrote and presented it), if you're interested in a full course on ADO.NET, with around 1000 pages of written material, labs, and demos. But search MSDN and gotdotnet.com as a starter--you should be able to find useful walkthroughs there.
