ADO.NET and Currency Manager/Binding Context (Newbie question)

Just learning ADO.NET and came across the topic of Currency Manager/Binding
Context. I had NO idea (and still have little more) what these even mean. At
first I thought "Currency" Manager looked after $$$ vs Euros vs Pesos vs
Yen, etc. Apparently I was mistaken.
Can someone point me to a good tutorial regarding this topic? It would be a
LOT more helpful if that tutorial were in the contect of VB.NET (as opposed
to C# for instance).

Thanks, all, for any assistance.

Sam,

The currencymanager manages the current position of a binding to the
datasource.

The currentevents fires when there is a change in that, see by instance this
sample.

(Our website is in reconstruction, therefore you can see at the moment
colours as the would not be as they should be).

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks, Cor. I'll take a look at it.
Rest assured, website colours are not an issue for me. Content is what
matters. I'm not an "artsy" kind of guy so black and white would suit my
purposes.
Thanks, again.
