database connection

[freefony]

hi am kinda of new in programming and am building my first website but am encountering some problems .
first my connection statement i connected like this :

set conn=server.creatobject("sql.connection") 
conn.open"my database".

it ask for declearation of conn which i decleared as thus:

 system.imports.data.sqlclient 
public class my form (declearation expected)
Dim conn as new sqlconnection
Dim command as new data.sqlclient.sqlcommand
End class

but conn cannot be accessed cos its a private dim
how do i make it accessible and what other codes do i need to add to both the form and the Vb to make my database accessible

Hi freefony,

You seem to be using a mixture of Classic ASP and ASP.NET here - can you confirm which language you are intending to use?

Thanks,
