Visual Studio 2010 – C# – MVC3
I am completely new to ASP.Net and I have been working / practising making an MVC 3 application using C#. I have practised getting an MVC application online which makes use of no databases and was successful. My hosting supports .net 4 and it was a simple process of publishing the files and uploading to my FTP. I am making a new application which makes use of a database. I have set up a data connection in the server explorer and set up all my tables and relationships. Everything is currently working as intended and I can create, edit and delete entries from the database.
I am not really sure where to start with getting this online. My hosting offers no MSSQL databases so I am presuming I can use a MYSQL database? What is the process of changing my application to use a MYSQL database which is located on my remote hosting? Also I am making use of the default accounts where users can register and login, will I have to set up a database for this too?
You can use a local DB in your APP_DATA folder or you can connect to a remote DB. Please let me know if you need additional help in either of these two areas or if I have misunderstood your question. You may also want to encrypt your web.config file to secure your DB passwords better.
