Beginner- Need Help With SQL Server 2005 Express

I am an absolute beginner with SQL Server, and I have now developed an app that needs to store, read, and search for saved data. Basically, my program will have to search through the databse to find a particular URL match to a string I supply, and then retrieve the Username and Password data that is associated with that URL, storing those to strings.

My problem is, I've learned how to create a database and tables in the IDE, but all of the examples on the web that I've found only talk about using SQL Server with Visual Basic 2005 in uses such as databinding to controls and displaying the database in datagrids and such on the form. I need help with how to interact with the database in code, seeing as the user of the program will likely never actually see the database contents- the data will be for the program's use only.

So, I was wondering if anyone could provide/guide me to some helpful information on interacting with SQL databases through code in VB Express 2005.

Thanks for any help.

In your VB code, define variables, and then instead of assigning data to control.text, assign data to the variables.

|||OK, but then how do I search through all of the fields in 1 column, and then if I find the right one, extract the adjacent columns for that field and save them as strings?
