DSN Connections
In my earlier article on Accessing the database from ASP I explained connecting to database via DSN in a step by step mannner. So there is no need to repeat that again, you can see it from there.

DSN stands for 'Data Source Name'. It is an easy way to assign useful and easily rememberable names to data sources which may not be limited to databases alone e.g Excel spread sheet etc.

I will now skip the steps of creating and assigning DSN to a database, you can see them by clicking here. Once you are done creating a DSN for your data source ( database lets say ), you can connect to it using following code

It has been challenge enough just understanding and mastering all of the many objects and their capabilities.? Just think, to physically access a column of data you have to now maneuver through at least five objects instead of two in ADO.?

As part of my effort to learn ADO.NET, I decided to first determine how to reproduce the basic functionality that I had in ADO, especially with the Recordset.? That is where I discovered the new and many uses of the DataView class (although I prefer the term object to class).?

ASP is a pseudo-programming language aimed at HTML development. It allows web pages to do more than contain just static content. By placing ASP tags in with your HTML tags, you can have a page that interacts with the user. The page can make decisions based on logic and user input. If you're familiar with HTML, then you know that an HTML tag uses <> around it's tags. For example this text will be bold would make this text will be bold. ASP is similar in that it uses delimiter tags like HTML. However, the tags differ slightly. An ASP delimiter tag starts with <% and ends with %>.
