Hey guys, I'm familiar with both ASP and C#, but I'm pretty new to ASP.NET...anyways, I'm looking to make a pretty basic page that will use a customer-based Access DB (which I have already created and can provide if necessary) as a datasource...when the page loads, I want it to load the first customers' information onto the page. I also want to have a drop-down menu that users can click to select different customers within the DB and have it load their respective data.
Here's what I know:
I know I need to make a Customer.cs class within C# with public fields for each column in the Customers table in the DB, and somehow use it to create a Customer object that will contain the information about the selected customer.
I know I need to add the database as the datasource for the default page of the site...it needs to return all rows and columns from the Customers table sorted by Name...then somehow I need to bind the drop down menu to the datasource so the name column is displayed for each item in the list and the CustomerID column is stored as the value for each item. (I'm not exactly sure how I would do this, if anyone can help me with this part)
I'm going to use a table to align the information being returned from the DB (phone #, address, email, etc.)
If anyone can help me out with what I need to do to start something simple like this, I would greatly appreciate it, I'm kind of at a loss of where to start and I know it shouldn't be too complicated. Thanks for any help! And remember I'm new to this stuff!
