Download the sample, usually from the software development kit (SDK) documentation, to your hard disk drive.
To build the sample from the build environment command window, go to the source directory of the sample. At the command prompt, type MSBUILD.
To build the sample in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, load the sample solution or project file and then press CTRL+SHIFT+B.
Running the Sample
To run the compiled sample from the build environment command window, execute the .exe file in the Bin\Debug or Bin\Release folder contained under the sample source code folder.
To run the compiled sample with debugging in Visual Studio 2005, press F5.
Remarks
Before you run the sample you must execute the CopyMDB.cmd provided. This copies the BookData.mdb to your Application Data folder where it can be accessed more globally. This folder is typically located at C:\Documents and Settings\YourAlias\Application Data\ADODataSetSample.
