This book looks at how we can create data-centric asp.net applications. Written and organised in the classic Wrox Beginning style, this book is packed full of excellent 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.
