hi all.
well, I have finally sorted out my workstation and have vs.net installed
and working.
I have the Wrox Press book "Professional ASP.NET" (released around Beta
2) and am just starting to have a go at connecting to datasources, etc.
I'm a bit baffled :)
When I created a new page I got the following at the top:
----- 8< -----
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebApplication3.WebForm1"%>
----- >8 -----
I used the same page and wrote some of the example code in, as follows:
----- 8< -----
<%@Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<html>
<head>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
sub Page_Load(source as object, e as eventargs)
dim myConnection as SQLConnection
dim myCommand as SQLCommand
dim myReader as SQLDataReader
dim SQL as string
dim ConnStr as string
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Shippers"
ConnStr =
"server=capsicum;uid=sa;pwd=;database=Northwind;"
myConnection = New SQLConnection(ConnStr)
myConnection.Open()
myCommand = New SQLCommand(SQL, myConnection)
myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
Shippers.DataSource = myReader
Shippers.Databind()
MyLabel.Text = myConnection.ConnectionString
end sub
</script>
</head>
<form runat="server">
<asp:DropDownList id="Shippers" name="Shippers"
DataTextField="CompanyName" DataValueField="ShipperID" runat="server" />
<asp:Label id="MyLabel" runat="server" />
</form>
</html>
----- >8 -----
What I want to know is why the page wont run with the <%@ Page
Language="vb" ... %> code in there, but runs fine if I take it out.
Any ideas?
Also, I am an experienced Classic ASP developer (5+ years) but I'm
slightly thrown by the .NET stuff. Would anyone have any advice for me,
things to watch out for, etc, or any good tutorial sites?
Much appreciated.
