I'm a classic ASP programmer trying to transition to ASP.Net. I need some
guidance on how to display data from my database on an ASP.Net page. All the
tutorials I've found seem to be centered on using Visual Studio...I'm just
using good old fashioned Notepad.

Can someone tell me how to (or point me to a good tutorial about):
1) execute a SQL query
2) determine the number of records returned
3) display query results inside an HTML page

Thanks.

This group covers classic ASP. ASP.Net has its own groups and forums. The
busiest ones are at Microsoft's site for ASP.Net www.asp.net. They also
have a load of tutorials there. You can use Visual Web Developer just as
easily as Visual Studio. The difference is that VWD is free.
