Hello,

I am new on Microsoft Visual Studio 2003.

Several questions :

1) How can I compile an HTML page,
and check it syntax
(suppose I have a button, that when onClick event occurs,
there is some code behind (alert a message) - so there can be some code ).

2) How can I link objects to database (i.e. mdb) ? - I need a step by step
sample, please.
3) I need good design advice for building good Web Pages, (using Microsoft
Visual Studio 2003 architecture) please.

Thanks

Avi,

I gave you the link for this page, because there should be first some basic
knowledge.

By instance can you not compile an HTML page. You can only create it.

Well,
I see that this site explains the apt .net.
It's not what I am looking for
What I am looking for is help for the IDE, as I have asked perior.

Thanks

Please, No.
I did a lot of programming on .NET but on notepad...
Now there is the IDE,
I just want simple answers for the dotnet, as I have asked.
(I used oleDbConnection, and oleDBCommand, but I didn't find a datasource
that I can use on the design time).

Thanks

The first paragraph of this page is as follows:

"The Jet database engine is provided by Microsoft® Internet
Information Services (IIS) for Microsoft Access databases. This
database engine is a popular alternative to Microsoft SQL Server and
is useful for low-volume Web applications. The Jet database engine is
OLEDB-compliant and is supported by classes in the Microsoft .NET
Framework System.Data.OleDb namespace"

Right off the bat, it assumes the developer's goal is to create web
applications. What if all you want to do is bring an existing stand
alone Access app into the dotnet world? I have been digging for some
time now, looking for specific info on how to bring an EXISTING,
widely distributed Access 2000 or 2003 application into the dotnet
world. As far as I can tell, Microsoft is slowly giving up on Access
and VBA as a serious development platform. I seriously hope I am
wrong about this. Can someone explain?
