A more hands-on approach
Since I have grown tired of just reading about coding C# instead of actually coding C# I sat down tonight and started off with these walkthroughs from MSDN. More specifically the Windows Forms section as that is the part I need to learn most urgently. At least that how it feels right now.

I couldn't get the Simple Data Access in a Windows Form walkthrough to work though since I only have the MSDE SQL server installed on this machine wich means that I don't have the "Pub" sample database they use in the example.

I downloaded the MySQL ODBC connector, as I run MySQL on this machine, but even though I set up the connector properly the Fill() method didn't work as it should with the odbcDataAdapter object so after some hacking around I gave up. I'm a bit too tired to find these kind of problems amusing right now.

I should probably read up on Creating a Distributed Application as well.
