Database Connections for ASP.NET Developers

To use a database with an ASP.NET application, you need to create a database connection in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. This chapter describes how to create the database connection.

The chapter assumes you have set up an ASP.NET application (see Setting Up a Web Application). It also assumes a database is set up on your local computer or on a system to which you have network or FTP access.

Beginner’s Guide to Databases

This appendix is intended for Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 users who have little or no experience working with databases or database connections. It explains general concepts, not specific procedures. To see how these concepts apply in practice, see the rest of the help system.

The appendix describes how to design a database but not how to create one in an application such as Microsoft Access or SQL Server. That process is described in the printed or online documentation that came with your database system.

Setting Remote Info category options

The purpose of this dialog box is to select an access method for Dreamweaver to upload or download files to your web server where your remote folder (also known as a remote site) is located.
