Basically, I'm learning about SQL, VB.NET, and how to glue the two together, and I've learned about using SqlCommand.executeScalar() to get the first entry in a table.

Private dogs As System.Linq.IQueryable(Of Dog)
(Dog is a class that I added to my .dbml file from the database file)Also, I am told it involves using a method
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am using a data reader to read an Excel spreadsheet and want to update a SQL Express table.
