C# and VB Project: A Tutorial Using Data Sets, Table Adapters, WebForms, Controls, File Upload, Excel Import
In this
tutorial
by Nannette Thacker, we will create a VB or C# project from
scratch. We will create DataSets, TableAdapters, a WebForm
and Controls, a File Upload, and import and view an Excel
Spreadsheet, and more! We'll also learn about intellisense
and other features of Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer.
This project may be used in both VS or VWD 2005 or 2008. Zip
files with the complete source code in either C# or VB,
Excel Spreadsheet, and .mdf SQL Server Database is available
for download. You may easily modify this tutorial to use an
existing database as well.
I have written this
tutorial with step by step instructions and screen shots on
how to do each point. If you are learning ASP.NET, please
don't simply download the source code and plunk it into your
project, the best way to learn is to walk through the
tutorial from scratch and do each step yourself.

Learning a new technology can be intimidating when first
starting out. You want to learn it in 5 minutes, and in
some cases, you feel pressured that you must learn it in 5
minutes! I remember first learning C programming in
college years ago, and lying on the bedroom floor in
tears, crying and pleading with God to teach me. I felt I
was struggling, but through His grace, He helped me earn
one of only two A's in the course which had over 100
students.
I encourage you, don't give up, and
pray for God's help. He will be there for you, as long as
your project is one that is not contrary to His will.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
May your dreams be in ASP.NET!
