(aha! just getting a new name: CreateDataReader. Thanks for the info Jackie and Kawarjit (from the AD0.Net team!)

whoa. I just noticed this in the online docs that come up through the msdn library with vs2005 (which points to this link)

The same holds true (as per the above set of docs) for DataTable.GetDataReader.

However, if you browse to a separate source of docs at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/0xbt1065.aspx there is no indication of it being obsolete.

It works just fine in the October CTP bits I am using. I'm confused.
