101 Forms and 1 Database Script in ASP
(Page 1 of 4 )

Imagine adding web forms that will automatically be ready for use with a database. This is not an IDE or simple trick. I think this article will help programmers expand their knowledge of web architecture, as they have not been presented with a different way to handle web forms that present and update a database in ASP.

In many cases, web programmers present a web page and ‘fill’ it with information from the database. If the data is to be updated (inserted or removed), then the data is presented in a form and ‘submitted’ to a server script to be processed. This method is ok, but assumes a 1 to 1 relationship between the each form and server processing script. Our goal is ‘many’ web forms and one processing script.
