PostgreSQL + Visual Basic .NET

Hello there

I am currently writing an application which needs a database as a back-end,
and I thought I'd give PostgreSQL a try. Currently I have a database running
on a FreeBSD machine here on my LAN, but I need some tips on how I would
access it from vb .NET? Is this the right place to ask? :\

Thanks!

Nice one.
Yeah the ODBC stuff seems to work fine.
