End Sub 'Page_Load
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">

      <asp:AccessDataSource
        id="AccessDataSource1"
        runat="server"
        DataFile="Northwind.mdb">
      </asp:AccessDataSource>

      <asp:Label
        id="Label1"
        runat="server">
      </asp:Label>

    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Remarks

While the AccessDataSource control exposes the ProviderName property because it is inherited from its base class, attempting to set the ProviderName property results in a NotSupportedException exception.
