Description
ASP.NET is Microsoft's popular technology for creating dynamic web sites that pull unique information for each visitor rather than showing everyone the same static HTML pages. The introduction of the exciting 2.0 version allows for a far easier relationship between data and ASP.NET than ever before. In this book, bestselling author John Kauffman and Microsoft ASP.NET data insider Bradley Millington guide you through the most important uses of ASP.NET-working with databases in your ASP.NET web sites.
As you progress from simple to more complex topics, you'll be introduced to the many additional ASP.NET and data connectivity tools that Microsoft's Web Platform and Tools team has released. Kauffman and Millington take you beyond the basics to discuss the permutations, pitfalls, and best practices that occur in real business scenarios.
What you will learn from this book
* Fundamentals of connecting web pages to databases
* The connections to Access, SQL Server, Oracle(r), XML, and other data sources
* Various tricks and traps for displaying data in grids, lists, and trees
* How to allow users to change, add, and delete data
