Hi All,
This is my first time looking at ASP.NET and VB, coming from a php dev background, so having a bit of trouble getting my head around stuff.

I really like the VWD interface but writing applications I would like to be able to submit data from a custom form into a database (not using the GridView or DetailsView). I assume I need to put SQL code in the button click event handler to process the data passed to it?

Does anyone have any simple examples or can point me in the right direction for what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks Already

Chris

Hi,

http://www.asp.net/LEARN/videos/

As U seems To be new Chk the above link In had loads of video on Asp.net

Thanks for the pointer, I have been looking at these over the last weekend and there is some great pointers to how to use VWD.

But I cant see something as simple as submitting a custom form into a SQL database.

Cheers

Chris

The easiest way to do it, is to use asp:FormView as it gives you a greater control over html layout than asp:DetailsView. Instead of creating a custom form - just copy html layout, so it looks the same inside the asp:FormView. When you SUBMIT form - everything will be submitted to a database automatically - no need to write any code.

Hi,

chk the aboce Link

Example passing data from textBox..

"UPDATE Person SET Age =" +TextboxNumeri.text +" WHERE FirstName ='"+TxtFirstName_nvarchar.text+"'";

Thanks everyone for your responses!

I found the video at http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-8606.aspx to be very useful in getting a better undertanding of ADO.net and LINQ (cant really get it to implement yet but I will after some messing).

Thanks Again

Chris
