ASP Newbie question regarding Database.

[aspn]

Ok, i have things setup on my PC (IIS 5/WIn2000) so I can do some ASP and ASP.NET development and learn a few things. My question is at some stage my asp pages will start displaying/retrieving from a database. Does IIS or the .NET framework have some default database. Even if it has is it advisable to a copy of MS SQL SERVEr 2000?

Thanks

No, IIS or .NET framework just allows you to render and build your web pages, respectively. You still need a database, whether it be MS Access, SQL Server, or some other datasource. I suggest taking a look at a site called

http://www.asp.net

or

http://www.w3schools.org

to get you started.

The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
