how to connect db in asp.net
@{
var db = Database.Open("SmallBakery");
var selectQueryString = "SELECT * FROM Product ORDER BY Name";
}
@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>
}
The Database.Open(name) method will connect to a database in two steps:
First, it searches the application's App_Data folder for a database that matches the name parameter without the file-name extension.
If no file is found, it looks for a "connection string" in the application's Web.config file.
(A connection string contains information about how to connect to a database. It can include a file path, or the name of an SQL database, with full user name and password)
This two-step search makes it possible to test the application with a local database, and run the application on a web host using a connection string.
