My Working with Data in ASP.NET 2.0 tutorials have been updated to include the four newest tutorials, which illustrate working with database data directly from an ASP.NET web page. The previous 46 tutorials (as well as all tutorials following these four) looked at working with data through a layered architecture. But for one-off projects or prototyping, it may be preferable to use a SqlDataSource and avoid building the architecture. These four new tutorials illustrate various facets of working with the SqlDataSource control:
- Querying Data with the SqlDataSource Control [VB | C#]
- Using Parameterized Queries with the SqlDataSource [VB | C#]
- Inserting, Updating, and Deleting Data with the SqlDataSource [VB | C#]
- Implementing Optimistic Concurrency with the SqlDataSource [VB | C#]
Like the previous tutorials in the series, all tutorials are available in C# and VB, include the complete code download as a self-extracting ZIP, and are available in PDF format. Also, the layout of the tutorial homepage has been revamped and a new style has been applied for the individual tutorials.
There are more tutorials to be released in the upcoming weeks, including tutorials on working with binary data (images, PDFs, etc.), caching, and much more!
