This 2-hour workshop focuses on building data-driven Web based user interfaces using data source and data bound controls.

Within the workshop you will learn the following:

• Defining database connections through the Web.config file.
• Using the new data source controls for accessing data in a variety of formats including the SQLDataSource control, the XMLDataSource control, and the ObjectDataSource control.
• Binding user-interface data controls and data-aware standard controls.
• Using ADO.NET objects directly in a Web application, without using the data source controls as intermediaries

As a workshop, most of your learning will take place during the extensive lab.
