Chapter 6. Fetching and Presenting Data with SqlDataSource

In This Chapter

  • Using SQL Server Express as a data source

  • Building connection strings

  • Using the SqlDataSource control

  • Passing parameters from controls and other sources

  • Creating a master/detail page

In Chapter 3, I show you how to create a database and, using the power of the Visual Web Developer environment, generate a data-driven Web page. This chapter still emphasizes letting the tools do the work, but the approach is different. The goal is to understand what the wizards are doing so you can use them more effectively in a variety of situations.
