ASP .NET Web Apps



Using Visual Basic .NET 2003


These web pages hope to show how to use ASP .NET to easily create web applications, especially those that provide a front-end to a database. Visual Basic .NET 2003 will be used as the programming language.

Most of the examples assume that you are already familiar with introductory programming in a language that is at least similar to Visual Basic. The examples that manipulate a database assume that you already know basic database concepts, such as what tables and queries are. The database examples use SQL Server but a background in Access, Oracle, or similar should be sufficient.
