Hi some .NET questions for those doing database web-apps, particularly interested in those who have come from ASP.

1. Do you use the same web page to do an insert and an update for the same table?

2. Do you have the same page above to validate the data and confirm the change and then redirect to a single record page?

3. On an update record page how do you get dropdown lists and checkboxes to select the current values and show the other options from a lookup table?

4. In asp I have (for each [record]):
update_[record].asp (inserts and updates)
confirm_[record].asp
single_[record].asp
[Records].asp (List view with links to single record

Is it a similar design in .net, do you write much less code?

5.So far Iv done some basic tutorials and built a few Amazon stores but nothing with complex database Admin I/O or MIS, Statistics, Graphs etc. Are there any real good resources or books that anyone has used for putting together v large apps that show best designs on all this stuff and security / error handling etc not just beginner’s apps.

6. Any tips for migrating from ASP/SQL2K to .NET/SQL2005?

7. Is C# better or worse than VB.NET for SQL databases?

8. What Version of .NET platform and Visual studio is the right one to go with and why?

9. Anyone else using the holidays to upgrade skills? :( I started last year but talked myself out of it.

Happy Christmas!
