Searching Any Record from Database in ASP.Net


Searching Any Record from Database in ASP.Net



Introduction

Once upon a time my examination result was published online first, on that time I was totally unknown about the working process of internet and even computing. The main reason, I was very remote villager. But today I have created lots of web applications where we search record or say result from huge database. Now I would like to share this experience to all my friends. Let's take a look on the process. 

Perquisite

To learn this article you should have the basic knowledge of ASP.Net and SQL Server Database. Because in this article, will not explain the technique to create SQL Database. Only we cover the entity and attribute details and you have to create it yourself. 

Requirements

Create a web application which has the following things:
  • Index.aspx (this page will help us to insert the record in database)
  • Index.aspx.vb
  • Result.aspx (this page will help us to find the particular record)
  • Result.aspx.cs
  • web.config (this will hold the configuration of database that is credentials of database)
  • App_Data (this is folder for Database)
Creating Database

Create a Database as per details given below:

Database Name: myDb.mdf

Table Name: myTb
 
Column NameData TypeAllow Nulls
rollintNot Checked
namevarchar(50)Not Checked
addressvarchar(100)Not Checked
resultchar(10)Not Checked
Here is screenshot of my database:


Connection-string in web.config file

There are couples of ways to configure the database but I have used as follows: 

<connectionStrings>
  <
add name="myDbConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\myDb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>

If you want to create your own configuration in web.config file, then simply drag the table from Database Explorer on form and now open web.config file. Now you don't have to type above coding for your configuration. You can delete the dragged items from web form, web.config file will not be effected now.
