Hi Don I'm sure you'll excel there - especially with your depth of real-world (ie multivalue) knowledge behind you!
But I would highly recommend reading whatever is the latest book on SQL Server and .Net by Roger Jennings before you do (check out Wrox press). Apart from the stuff pointed out here about maintaining three tier architectures and not just using data binding (actually, data binding to classes is fine, just binding to data sets is crap) the real bitch is concurrency control and how to handle it when you need to start looking at merge processing. There's a lot of good advise on that in the Roger Jennings books - and details on some hidden language features to make SQL Server access in .Net a lot more performant... Best of luck.
