Introduction

ASP.NET universal generic database application, based on one table from either an Microsoft Access2000 or SQL Server 2000 database. It comes in 2 versions :- ASP Classic or ASP.NET

Logic and process flow is exactly the same, even to the extent of having the same program names (ie *.asp & *.aspx), except the ASP.NET version uses the Calendar control. This sample application is a good example of migrating from ASP to ASP.NET, using much of the same code, and how to make it perform better in ASP.NET.

It must be stressed that the ASP.NET version can be improved upon by using standard controls, such as datagrid, etc..
