ADO.Net and ASP.Net

[Steve B.]

I know nothing about about web based programming. However, I think it's time
to inquire about making my local share drive ADO.Net application a web
ASP.Net application. Generally, how do I that? Thanks

To put it simply buy a few books and get started on learning ado.net and asp.
net.

great help Jeff.

back to Steve, you would first need to place all your shared files on a
web server somwhere, so that they are accessible through a url like:

http://myserver.com/shared/music.mp3

You would create an asp.net page in the same directory that generates a
list of <a href="/shared/filename.ext">filename.ext</a> links
dynamically using perhaps a DataList control. You would use the
System.IO namespace to read the files from the current directory,
placing them into a DataTable (from the System.Data namespace).

I reckon that's enough hints to find the right chapters in those books
Jeff's talking about.

Thank you for both your reply's. What I don't understand how do I use the
ADO.Net code for the ASP application? That's what I don't understand. Do I
write scripts or something? Yes a book(s) will definity be necessary.

I have to prepare a ppt presentation for my boss to upgrade to VS 2005 and
have IT install SQL Server express instead of Access. Then talk to the portal
contractor and get the appl. installed inside the portal. The portal
contractor said they'll accept a ASP application from VS

A very good book to start developing with ASP .net 2.0 is Murach's book:

Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming with C# 2005

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...387282-3113221
If I were you I will start using ASP .net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 (it
contains a lot of new features, and depending on your needs, you can even
create database driven application without writing much code).

Good luck
Braulio

You won't suffer much jumping into ASPX but you first need to have some
reading, the main difference between your application is to close the
connection each time you use it, and to keep in mind that there is no state
info (well, you have to use things like session, viewstate...).

I have found another online intro:

have a quick start tutorial:
