Changing a Database Fields value in VB.Net

Hi,

I'm trying to create an application in VB.Net which is able to retrieve data from a database, change it and save it back into the database again.
In Visual Basic 6.0 I would do it like:

Dim oCon As ADODB.Connection
Dim sCon As String
Dim oRs As ADODB.RecordSet
Dim sSql As String

sCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MusicDB.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"
Set oCon = New ADODB.Connection
oCon.ConnectionString = sCon
oCon.Open

sSql = "SELECT * FROM ARTISTS WHERE artist_id = 375"
Set oRs = New ADODB.RecordSet
oRs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
oRs.Open sSql, oCon, adOpenDynamic, adLockBatchOptimistic
Set oRs.ActiveConnection = Nothing

If Not (oRs.BOF And oRs.EOF) Then
oRs.Fields("artist_name") = "Madonna"
Set oRs.ActiveConnection = oCon
oRs.Update
oRs.UpdateBatch

Set oRs.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End If

Set oRs = Nothing
oCon.Close
Set oCon = Nothing

Can anyone tell me how to do this in VB.Net
I've seen many examples using and Update query, but I don't want to do it like that.
A little basic sample application or function would be very helpfull

Thanx in Advance!
