Accessing ASP datasource results through VB code

I have the following datasource...

<asp:SqlDataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ***%>"

ProviderName="<%$ ***%>"SelectCommand='SELECT "var1", "var2", "var3" FROM "tbl1"'>

</asp:SqlDataSource>

Would it be possible to use VB code to read the reasults from this datasource? (There are conditions that restrict me from running the query itself through VB code.)

As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you should use the connection and recordset that is intrinsic to vb....I am not sure you can use vb6 or vb5 to look into a dataset.

you could use vb.net but i am stating the obvious here...

actually i found this

looks like you can do it but will need some extra code.
