web application to display according to selection made

[ash42]

I need to write an asp application consisting of a webform which allows a user to make a selection from menu and display all jobs relalted to IT or all jobs related to Admin .
A user will click on buttons 'IT' or 'Admin'. This will invoke a database to be read
for the appropriate search - and then it should display a screen of all IT related jobs or Admin related jobs .5 jobs per page must be shown before pressing 'More' for next screen - at any time user may press 'PREVIOUS' "CANCEL' or return to 'Job Search Menu' ...

How do I go about programming this ?(I am new to asp.net and c#'
Thankyou in advance

Frankly it sounds like you are starting our with a rather ambitious first project for learning.

I recommend you start a bit... smaller... and build up to this.
Work on learning basic C# and forms.
Then add in database interaction with your forms and lists.
Then add in the ASP parts.

I'd probably use a GridView to display the search results.

When the user made a selection in the DropDownList I'd create a data source for the GridView depending on what the user selected by querying the database.

Check out this quick resource on How to use a database in your program to learn how to connect to and use a Database.


The best resource for .NET is the MSDN Library. There are multiple articles on the GridViews, DropDownLists, and DataBase stuff there. I recommend bookmarking the MSDN Library and using it as your primary resource when developing in .NET.
