Help with the ASP Web Matrix

[Jeff Thur]

I seem to have a problem with Web Matrix.
When attempting to write the line:
Imports System.Data.SQLClient at the top of my code, this
doesnot seem to be taking. How do I know?
When attempted to run a Microsoft example of executing an
example from ASP.Net I am getting pounded with errors on
code that is correct. This is the Microsoft example code.

Dim sConnectionString As String = _
"server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=;database=Northwi nd"
Dim cnNorthwind As New SqlConnection(sConnectionString)
Dim cmdOrders As New SqlCommand("CustOrderHist",
cnNorthwind)
cmdOrders.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
' Set up parameter for stored procedure
Dim prmCustomerID As New SqlParameter()
prmCustomerID.ParameterName = "@CustomerID"
prmCustomerID.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar
prmCustomerID.Size = 5
prmCustomerID.Value = "ALFKI"
cmdOrders.Parameters.Add(prmCustomerID
These are my errors:

Jeff,

When you place messages in this newsgroup don't tell that you use Web
Matrix.
Most of people active in this newsgoup use Visual Studio Net what is another
approach of dotNet.

A good newsgroup for your needs is in my opinion.
Aspnet
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...amework.aspnet

Web interface:
http://communities2.microsoft.com/co...amework.aspnet

A good base of information
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/

The samples on MSDE are partially based on the scripting style you use and
partially on the Visual.Studio Net style. What is in my opinion very
confusing when you don't know that.

You miss probably at least in your program the import of the namespaces in
top of your program
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>

I hope this helps?
