Hi, I've just finished reading this book, although I must say I'm still a little bit confused but I guess it will be clearer with some practice. I'm trying as an excercise to develop a very simple application, which is a very simple guestbook. I've seen all the techniques which include datagrid and other, but I don't want my comments in a table list, I want each one separated in its own table, let's say:

<table>
<tr>
<td> comment here </td><td> Author here </TD>
<tr>
</table>

I've tried a modification with the datareader and it generates the necessary tables and cells, but it doesn't fill them with the data.
Also, I'm having a very hard time using VisualStudio.Net, it's my first time using it and It's kind of complicated for me, any suggestions or words of advice? Maybe some recommended literature on it?

Thank you so much.

You said you tried to do a modification to a datareader value; the datareader is a read-only, forward-only object. You may want to try something else. You also want to look into a repeater, which in the template for each entry, you could specify the html to create a separate table. You could also create your own custom control.

VS.NET isn't that bad once you understand it. Look on Microsoft's site for a tutorial or explanation.

Hope this helps,

Brian

Thank you Brian, I really appreciate this, I will look into it right away and let you know of my progress.
