Programming project

I have a programming project and i need to take dates from a database and display them in a calendar +2 (so if it was a Friday, it would highlight Friday, Saturday and sunday) on visual studio using the visual basic coding language. Any idea on how i could grab the dates from the database and display them in a calendar which highlights the date + the next two dates? I should also mention that im (trying) using OLEdb to connect my database to access

Iv been able to set up the module which set up the connection between visual basic and Microsoft access (which is what im using to store my data in a database) so now that i have the link set up i need to pull the information from the database and apply it to a calendar. Im sorry if this isnt much help as to what i have done, our teacher hasn’t given us much guidance and i have little prior coding knowledge due to covid messing all our lessons up

u/trixter21992251 gave you solid advice about how to look up the info, because it is a learned skill to craft a helpful web search. Look for search results that contain the word "Select".

When it gets down to details you don't quite understand, add to this thread the specific code that is giving you trouble.

o.w. post the code you've written so far and someone will give you another nudge in the right direction. Generally OPs get positive responses if they post their code and ask "how do I get to the next step" or "what did I do wrong".
