Best sample asp.net app to learn from?

[John Sutter]

I am looking for a sample app to learn from for best OO and ADO.NET
practices. I am aware of the sample kits, sample programs at Microsoft
site, duwamish, petstore, IBUYSPY, fitch & mather. I really do not have
time to pour over all of them and decide which one to concentrate on.

Looking for one that has forms to database updates and nice use of the
datagrid. Nothing fancy like n-tier stuff.

Thanks a bunch.

You best bet is probably the Quick Start samples:

Hi John,

if you are about to start with asp.net and you are still looking for
"best practices" then you should definitely have a look at an add-on
for asp.net:
IntraWeb for VisualStudio.net. IW simplifies the the task to create
very powerful web applications based on asp.net.

Esp. for database applications with edit capabilities, IW has a lot of
benefits over using pure asp.net.
Please have a look at

Esp. see the differences in code if using IW instead of pure asp.net:
