New to ASP.NET but oldtime ASP classic developer

[JackV]

Hi all,

Just starting in ASP.NET finnally. I have a basic question.

I want to simply display data from a SQLSever table on to the webpage.
Simple enough?

I created an app on the ASP server and added the a Data Web Form, found my
table and fields and then...

When I go and build and show the page, it is blank.....

Um, No complie errors or warnings so what happened? I then placed a simple
label on the form to make sure I am viewing the right page. And yes the
label came up.

So somehow the page is not pulling the data...

Any helpful ideas or easy step by step samples will be helpful. Thanks

You have to have a control that accepts your data to display it to the client or you manually iterate thru the data and compose a HTML table to send to the client

In ASP.NET you can use the DataGrid control and bind the data to it and it will take care of displaying the data on the client browser

Are you using VS.NET? If so, are you hitting F5 to do this (or going to
Start/Debug)?

Is the code to bind the data to your data Web control in the Page_Load
event handler? What does your code-behind class look like?

Thanks.

Thanks for the help. The samples made a real difference...
