I have loaded my database with one table under “Data Connections” in the “Server Explorer” pane.
What is the standard / best-practices way to handle a simple query in a VB ASPX page?
My left <div> would be a set of form elements to filter rows, and when the button is clicked, the main <div> would show the columns I want for the rows returned.
Note: Answers in C# are okay too, I’ll just translate.
Presuming web forms you would have a data control, such as a gridview or repeater, bound to a datasource (such as SqlDataSource or ObjectDataSource etc). You would then bind the parameters of your filter controls as control parameters of your datasource. You then need a button to fire a postback and that’s basically it.
See Filtering Data Using Data Source Controls for more detail.
