What?
Don't post questions in this thread, unless they are related to this tutorial.

I've done the following but I think I'm missing some functionallity. In fact, I'm certain I'm missing something. This might be down to my configuration of IIS but as this is the first time I've had a go at ASP.NET then I'm completely in the dark as to what to do.

This is what I've done:
1. Extracted the zip file
2. Copied all the root files from ASPTesting to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
3. Copied the bin and images directories to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

In IIS (I'm using Windows XP)
1. I've right clicked Default Web Site and selected properties.
2. On the Documents tab I've added Default.aspx and moved it to the top of the list
3. I've opened my browser window by entering http://localhost/

The browser window opens the Human Resource Adminstrator page with the Departments, Positions and Employees links. I've clicked the Departments link (I've tried the following with all links), then I've clicked the Add New Department link. This opens a window that has a Main Administration link and two pieces of text, Departments: and Department Name:. I'm guessing there should be some text boxes on this page that are produced via asp.net.

Before I rebuilt my PC I had the whole Visual Basic.Net suite on my PC and I'd configured IIS as above. The same symptoms were given. I've recently rebuilt my PC and just installed .NET Framework 1.1 redistributable, .NET Framework 1.1 SDK and W2K SQL developer version. I've also attempted to run some very very basic asp.net scripts but these give me one of those triangle error icons in the bottom left hand corner. When I click it states a semi-colon is missing from the script. I'm guessing the PC thinks I'm using Java Script here within the <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> tabs.

I'm really at a loss on how to configure IIS with asp.net. I've been trying for days now and I'm really struggling. This is actually connected with trying to get the demo working so I hope it's OK to post here.

One thing I can say is that the .aspx extension does not appear in the list within IIS. ie IIS, right click Default Web Site and choose properties, Home Directory tab, click the Configuration button, Mappings tab and this is the list I refer to. Is this something to do with it?

Honestly I'm really really stuck with this and do not know what to do. It's a good job I haven't got a dog as there is a big risk that I could harm an animal if my frustration builds up any more.

Seriously, any help from anyone would be so so so appreciated.
Pleeeeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeeee Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Have you created the database, the database objects and changed the connectionstring within the application?

I haven't created any database stuff. I was looking for a readme file to tell me what to do but there isn't one. What database and table names do I need to create and what fields?

I think I'm missing something very obvious and important here and I can only apologise if I am. Please guide me and I'll have a go.

Did you read the posting carefully?

Now I do and I'll work out how to do this as I'm also new to SQL. Yeah I know I'm rubbish.

Thanks for replying.

The learning curve continues!!!!!

This is what I've done:

1. Created a new SQL server registration in Enterprise Manager

This now shows the standard databases of:
Master
Model
MSDB
Northwind
Pubs
tempdb

2. Opened Query analyzer
3. Opened CreateDatabase.sql
4. Clicked execute

I received the message "The commands completed successfully"

It appears that there are new tables in the master database which are:
Results
States
dtProperties
Position
Employee
Department
I've returned to Enterprise Manager and imported the states.xls spreadsheet data into the States table. The data was actually imported into the states$ table so I deleted the states table (Empty table) and renamed the states$ table to states. I guess something went wrong along the way.

Now I need to know how to change the connection string.

Please would you tell me Where this is? I've checked the global.asax file, global.asax.resx file, default.aspx file and others but to no avail. I guess I'm not looking in the correct place.

Please help.

DO NOT DO IT IN THE MASTER DATABASE!!!
YOU MUST CREATE A NEW DATABASE!!!
Then run the script within that database.

Create a new login (instructions can be found on google)
Then change the connectionstring to match the new database you created and the new username and password.

The connectionstring is found within the clsDML.vb file.
