I am looking to do the same thing. I would like to pull in my data into the dataset from an XML file. Then do a SELECT on the dataset. This may not be the logic way to do this, but I am wondering if it is possible.

I found a good class implementation for it: http://www.gotdotnet.com/userarea/keywordsrch.aspx?keyword=serialstream I tried using this class before I asked my question, but after further testing I found out my 14.4 external modem wasnt compatible with windowsXP. So I got a new modem and works great.

btw, it's an external modem connected to the com port, that I am using

I need to dial a number from a modem, but I am unsure how to implement it. Is there a class in place for this? Do I need to access the com port directly? Has anyone dialed a number using C# before? Any ideas?

any ideas on which VB.NET book I should buy?

I've created and installed a database application on my machine, and everything works fine. When I try to install this same program on a different machine I get the error: "File or assembly name ADODB, or one of its dependencies, was not found" Why is this not found? Is it not getting installed for some reason?

I set the Icon property to an .ico file on the only form I have. When I build an exe, the program icon in explorer just shows up as the default for an exe file. How do I get the program icon to be the same as my form icon?
