Chapter 7. Data Source Controls and Connections
In previous chapters, you created web pages but they did not interact with real data. In this chapter, you’ll look at the various sources of data with which you can fill your pages and the controls that ASP.NET provides to access them.
Then you’ll look more deeply at databases, how you connect your sites to them, and how you bind the information they contain to the controls on your page. In particular, you’ll look at the SqlDataSource control to access SQL Server and the server controls that can use it.
