 Basic database tutorials

We offer a number of basic database tutorials that get you started working with simple, single table databases using the asp.net controls that come with Expression Web and Visual Web Developer or Visual Studio Express.

 Advanced database tutorials for site members

We offer more advanced database tutorials including work with multi-table relational databases, and related topics of common interest.

About our database tutorials

These tutorials were originally created to ease the pain for users migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web with the goal of showing how to accomplish all the things (and more) with Expression and its ASP.NET controls that could easily be accomplished with databases using the Wizards and Bots of FrontPage. The tutorials have evolved over time and now include complete, somewhat advanced database  driven solutions.

While the tutorials use a SQL Express database, Access users should still be able to follow along, realizing there may be slight differences in some details.

To see an example of what can be accomplished with the technology used in these tutorials, visit  Ownertrades.com  , a site we built using Expression Web, Visual Web Developer Express, and SQL Express.
