The only thing I will say that I had to learn is, your initial steps will be
to use the controls to do all the work for you.
It seems to me that when you do it that way, it becomes hard to customize,
whereas if you actually code it line by line it just seems a lot easier to
work with as in the following vb.net code to make a flatfile
Another confusing thing is in vb.net you call a field name one way and in
asp_net you call it a different way.
I tried many times to get the following code done using the controls, and
then I finally met a .net developer and once he showed me the basics of it,
I was off and running.
Problem is, you don't seem to find this stuff in the samples you find on the
net.
