ADO and ADO.NET Connection Strings ASP / Database Integration
This tutorial was created as an easy reference of various ADO and ADO.NET connection strings for the most popular database types. Connection strings are string variables which contain database connection information and then passed to ADO(ActiveX Data Objects) which will interpret them and act accordingly. Since there are going to be passed to ADO, they need to be in a comprehensible for ADO format.
ASP Data Access for Beginners ASP / Database Integration
The driving force behind Active Server technologies is data access. In order to develop a truly dynamic web site developers need to allow users to access data on demand. Luckily, with Microsoft's Active Server Pages, this is exceedingly easy to do. This article for ASP beginners details how to connect to a SQL Server 7.0 database using ActiveX Data Object (ADO) and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
Wielding the Power of the DataView ASP / Database Integration
When faced with learning a new technology, it's common to try and reproduce the basic functionality you're used to in the old one. In doing that with ADO.NET and trying to reproduce the basics or the recordset object, this article discusses the new and many uses of ADO.NET's DataView object.
Centralizing Database Access With Visual Basic ActiveX DLL's ASP / Database Integration
By centralizing database code within ActiveX DLL's, you can simplify your development efforts, and decrease the learning curve for new developers. In this article, we will create a Visual Basic ActiveX DLL that controls database functionality for our Active Server Page (ASP) demo.
How to Use Dictionary Object ASP / Web Forms
Dictionary object is an useful object to store any form of data in an array list. Following asp script block stores all data coming from a form and list them in our HTML codes.
Dictionary Object ASP / General Development
The Dictionary object is used to store name/value pairs (referred to as the key and item respectively). The Dictionary object is like an associative array, but with its own built-in functionality that looks after the basic tasks of storing and manipulating the data, and sizing for the required number of elements. Each item in the Dictionary object is associated with a unique key. The key is used to retrieve an individual item. We don't have to worry about which row or column the data is in, we just access it using a unique key.
Limit query results with the Recordset object ASP / Database Integration
Here is an invaluable program that you can use to view and control the presentation of records in your database. We will use the Recordset object and the MaxRecords property via ADO, to set the number of records to return to the recordset and therefore to your screen. This is like a table in memory, holding records which are subdivided into individual fields.
Interrogating a Stored Procedure with ADO ASP / Database Integration
This article shows how to use the refresh method of the ADO Parameters collection to interrogate a stored procedure. You may already have experience using ADOX or SQL-DMO to accomplish this, but please keep in mind that the method displayed here is meant to be simple enough that anyone with ADO experience can use it. (ADOX and SQL-DMO will be addressed later.)
What's in an ADO Connection String? ASP / Database Integration
This article explains ADO connection strings and parameters. By the end of the article you should be able to build appropriate ones on your own instead of cutting and pasting them.
Using the Application Object to Improve Performance ASP / General Development
This article discusses the usage of persistence with the Application object in detail. Explains when to use Persistence, advantanges and disadvantages of using Persistence, and what types of data exchanges are targets for optimization and the benefits and disadvantages of using persistence with the Application object.
File Object ASP / File Operations
The File object represents a specified file on the local machine or on a network share. To work with the File object's properties and methods, you need to create an instance of the FileSystemObject object first and then instantiate the File object through the GetFile method. Also you can get a File object reference from the Folder object, by using the Files Collection.
Using Disconnected Recordsets ASP / Database Integration
This article looks at a neat and not often discussed feature of ADO - disconnected Recordsets. A disconnected Recordset, as its name implies, is a Recordset that lacks a connection. This may seem a bit confusing at first - how can a Recordset lack a connection to a data store? - but will hopefully become more clear as the article progresses.
ASP/VBS, ADO and DBF file database connection. ASP / Database Integration
We can use several providers to open DBF files usind ADODB. Basic way is to use ODBC data source (DSN or DSNless), there is several samples published on web. But how to open DBF files without ODBC? There are two other OLEDB providers, using which you can work with DBF files.
