Blog Web Page
The blog is an ASP.NET DataGrid using the
ItemTemplate to create the formatting of each individual entry. Each entry is
stored as a row in a SQL Server 2000 database with columns for the title, text,
creation date, and the user ID of the person who created the entry. The
code-behind page retrieves a DataView from the middle-tier and assigns it to
the DataSource property of the DataGrid. No extra HTML has to be created for a
new post. Just a simple database row!
Blog Entries
As mentioned above, each blog entry is just a simple
database row. To create/edit an entry in the database, I've written a Blog
Management Console. More details are available on the Projects page.
