This title looks at how we can create data-centric asp_NET applications. It contains code examples, which demonstrate important fundamental principles. Requiring some basic knowledge of ASP_NET and Access or a SQL-based RDBMS, the authors initially guide you through the processes involved in connecting ASP_NET pages to a database and investigate the various ways of reading data. They then explore all the major issues involved in data heavy asp_NET programming, including some slightly more advanced topics such as using stored procedures and components.
