I working exactly from various printed and online sources about using a SQLDataReader.

Using VB.Net 2008 Express with Sql Server Developer 2008

VB

Dim reader As New SqlDataReader
Dim reader As New SqlDataReader()
Dim reader As New SqlDataReader = Nothing

Each of these report as an error. I don't understand why.
I've got the system.data.sqlclient name space imported.

Anyone have any ideas?

Remove the reference to System.Data.SqlClient (you only need a reference to System.Data) and use the following code:

VB

Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
    Dim x As SqlDataReader
End Class
