Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can you use "normal" ADO with ASP.NET as opposed to ADO.NET?

Many thanks.
 
Oh, this is such a good opportunity to do my William Shatner impression. Ready? Here goes...

"Yes, you could use recordsets and other legacy ADO technologies in your asp.net application....but why?!"

Thank you, thank you, I'm here til thursday!

Just cause I know it (a bit) Capin! (Cheers).
 
Add a reference to the ADO object library if you really want to do it, but I concur that you'd be better off in the long-run just learning the new way. Beyond the power of the objects themselves, I don't believe you can take advantage of DataBinding and other core .NET features with old ADO objects.
