Hello;

I am *very* new to website programming.

I come from a client/server background.(Sybase Powerbuilder).

I have been assigned a task of moving our client/server applications to the
web.

My question is this and please excuse any ignorancy on my part:

Can I use Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Sybase SQL Server with ADO.net?

Basically, I want to use ASE vs Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.

Thanks,
Austin
 
Kerry;

Thank you for responding.

So far, I have used the ASP.net Login control, (although I am connecting to
EA Server and using PowerBuilder non-visual objects to connect to ASE),
and also I have successfully used the PowerBuilder Web Datawindow embedded
in asp pages. I have some simple java script to handle row selection, etc.

My web application looks alright, but I would like to try to enhance this by
trying to ?bind? ASE data to ASP.NET controls, like the datagrid, treeview,
etc. (Excuse my ignorance I am still learning web development).

Right now I am using frames with the web datawindow, with each page having
its own webdw.

I would like to see if I can replace this with tabs and ?datagrid? to give
this a more, professional web look, IMO.

Since I have never used Microsoft SQL Server, or VS, I am having difficulty
understanding how pages connect to the database, since I am used to
client/server applications connecting via Open-Client or ODBC via a DSN.

Thanks for any material you can give me to help guide me in my endeavor.

Regards,
Austin
