Displaying access data in a listbox in.net

[BigSi]

Hi,
Im trying to get used to vb.net after using vb6 and am having trouble accessing an MS ACCESS database - Im trying to display results of a query in a listbox on a windows form.
In VB6 I managed to do this by adding 2 things (its been a while!) to a form, one was a list box, and the other was a data controll which I believed the list box refrenced - I cant seem to remember how I done it, especially as I now have .net infront of me which is really confusing to start with - it took me a while to work out how the simple task of opening a new form was to be done.

Id appreciate any help!!!

thanks,
Si
