asp to aspx - vb to vb.Net

[Jim Bunton]

I have written asp web pages using vbscript and I am used to using include
files.
E.G.
<!-- #include file = "adovbs.inc" -->
<!-- #include file = "MyInclude.asp" -->

BUT - I guess it's time to move on!
So I'm 'having a go' with Ms Visual Web Developer (Express)
vb.net etc
AND my grasp of 'Object Orientated' is a bit shakey]

?? start ??
1. do I need something like adovbs in this environment

2. 'MyInclude' is generally a set of Function and procedures often used.
eg
Function OpenSuppliers (Cn, CursorToUse, LockToUse)
Dim sql, Rs
set Rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql="SELECT * FROM Suppliers "
Rs.open Sql,Cn, CursorToUse,LockToUse,adCmdText
Set OpenSuppliers = Rs
End Function


How do I implement such functions in in an include file this new environment
?? end ??

1) no
2) using classes --> read more http://www.startvbdotnet.com/oop/class.aspx

Forget about include files, and forget about ado/vbs.

From now on you'll use class files to store your functions
( or you can also write inline code in your aspx pages) and ADO.NET for your database access.

Give these two tutorials a good read :

http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/

http://www.w3schools.com/ASPNET/default.asp

Start by following the code for simple pages before you tackle database access.

There's several data access examples here :

Here's a data acess example for an Access database :

I would also recommend you to visit www.asp.net, where you will find
videos and sample projects to get started with programming on ASP.NET

I would advise you to get a copy of this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-A...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244464113&sr=8-3
and work your way through it from beginning to end.

'tis mucho stinky.

Better off going to asp.net and watching some screencasts.
