ASP.NET Web Pages - Databases


This chapter is about working with databases.

What We Will Do

In this chapter we will:
  • Create a web page to list data from a database

Displaying Data from Database

With Web Pages, you can easily display data from a database.
You can connect to an existing database, or create a new database from scratch.
In this example we will connect to an existing SQL Server Compact database.
If you want to learn how to create a database for your web, please go to the chapter Web Database.

Adding a Customers Page

In the "DemoWebPages" folder, create a new CSHTML file named "Products.cshtml".
Replace the code in the file with the code from the example below:

Products.cshtml

@{
var db = Database.Open("SmallBakery");
var selectQueryString = "SELECT * FROM Product ORDER BY Name";
}

<html>
<body>
<h1>Small Bakery Products</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
@foreach(var row in db.Query(selectQueryString))
{

<tr>
<td>@row.Id</td>
<td>@row.Name</td>
<td>@row.Description</td>
<td align="right">@row.Price</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
</body>
</html>
