Database Access

[Guest]

Hi All, I downloaded the dreamweaver 8.0 trial version. I was trying to see how database access works. I followed several tutorials on the adobe website, but I am not able to view any live data. When I open any page with data access defined it doesnt do anything, I just occasionally see a file download diagram and nothing happens after that. I am not sure that with the trail version you can actually have data access. Does anyone have any suggestions??

do you have IIS running?

What language are you writing your application in, CF, ASP, ASP.net, PHP and do you have the proper server software installed?
How are you connecting to the database, connection string or dns

I am using ASP.net, running on a XP professional machine. Conncection using a string. The connection is tested successfully in dreamweaver. If I write pure code in Visual Studio, then I can see dynamic content. Only through dreamweaver I cant.

Hi All, the issue is solved. In the future if anyone has a similar problem it is because you dont have visual studio installed and therefore the asp.net dll's are not registered and mappings for aspx pages are not there. To resolve the issue go to the microsoft knowledge base and preview the article. Follow it exactly and your pages will work.
