Help! Want to create basic user input form tied to database in VWD

Hello everybody.

I have used VWD (Visual Web Developper) for the past few weeks and love it so far. As a inexperienced ASP.NET developper, I have run into difficulties when trying to design user web form input to populate a database. Indeed, the medical unit I'm working at whishes to create a webpage with simple user forms ( checkboxes, textboxes) - to keep track of patients medical records - that will then fill a database (SQL preferred). Should the page have an .aspx or .ascx extension Do I need to create a dataset I've consulted the online help but I'm still confused and don't know how to proceed. I'm sure there should be a wizard to automate user form creation and binding to a database.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Hi! Jeewai :

I am also trying to create a web site to keep track of users donating money for christmas. I used Visual Web Developer and nil on asp.net. But i have an access database.

I created a login.aspx control but did not know of how to filter the data on the datagrid using the current loginid.

But was curious to know if you were able to get an answer to your request. I would kline to have the link too.

thanks lost in VBD 2005

Hi!

Thanks for asking! I'm a member of the ASP.NET team, and was just popping over here to see what was going on. The best place to ask ASP.NET questions is over on the ASP.NET forums at http://www.asp.net/welcome.aspx tabindex=1&tabid=39

The short answer to your question is to check out http://www.asp.net/Tutorials/quickstart.aspx for some "quick starts" on how to create web applications that will easily hook into SQL databases and such. VWD has some great capabilities there for creating forms from your existing databases.

HTH,
