SQL Database at a WebHoast

[Lars]

Hi

In VS2008 I need to add a connection to a database that's on the server for
my WebHoast. I can't have a local database under the development unless I
use an Access Database.

Does any one know how you manage users for webpages in ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5
that's located on Web Hoasts where there are many hompages.

First, I would get a copy of SQL for your box. You can download SQL Server
Express for free from Microsoft. It is a "lite" version of SQL Server. This
assumes, of course, the production database is SQL Server. If MySQL, you can
also download a copy of it.

On a webhost, you will have to create your own admin pages, unless your host
exposes it for you. It is fairly easy to work with ASP.NET Membership, if
that is the way you are going. And, you can "steal" the code from the web
admin pieces for local development.

Hope this helps.
