asp.net with access database

[hobey19]

alright, here is what i am trying to do. i have an access database and a layout in asp.net made. now, i need to be able to display the information in that database on the page. its simple fields like name, make, model, year, color, email, and a link to a picture. if someone can show me how i would go about first connecting to the database, and then being able to insert the data into the page, that would be great. a second step that i will need to do is be able to add to the database from a form, which i already have. but that can come once i can do the first thing. thanks a bunch

Sorry I do not know ASP.Net, but if it is anything like ASP (which I do know) you will probably use the ActiveX Data Objects (probably now called ADO.net or something). You can try googling about it, since it would at least be a start. IMO the best way to learn a language is to read a good book on it, and then but it into practice. You might want to look for a book ASP.Net, although (again by googling) I am sure you can find some examples.

alright, thanks, thats what i figured. this is just a quick hobby project one of my buddies asked me about, so i didn't want to learn the language completely because i am no programmer. its prolly harder than i want to get into.

This might be what you are looking for: http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/aspnet_dbconnection.asp

Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to share much in common with ASP, so I can't really help.
