Hi,

I was looking at some good video tutorials by Beth Massey http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb737878.aspx. They are good but the thing is these are applications. I have found if I open Visual Studio 2008 and create a web based project the data menu item is not visible on the toolbar and the data sources tab is not visible. Is there a way of getting these items to show in ASP.NET project?

Cheers Dave.
 
Web applications have a slightly different approach to data access and (IIRC) you do not get the data sources tab.

If you have already created your datasets / object model / raw sql you can add a data source object to the page and point that to your underlying db / object model etc.
