Part1: What do I need to setup a server on my computer?

For this to work you will need to have the software below installed.

1. Dreamweaver 8, this is what I used in the tutorial. I am not sure if you can do this on the previous versions.

2. Windows XP Professional

3. (IIS) Internet Information Services has to be installed.

Part2: Follow there previous tutorial

For this tutorial to work you will need to set up Dreamweaver and your computer to run ASP.NET pages. I covered how to do this in previous tutorial, you can read up on this below. Most of these tutorials also includes video examples.

• Installing IIS

• Display database information

Part3: Lets get Started.

At this point I will take it that you have IIS setup and you are able to access a database from Dreamweaver.

Ok, lets get started. Download this database click here and place it into your database folder. The download includes the image, database and default.aspx file. The default.aspx file is already setup to display all the information stored in the database. We will need to edit it a little but its no problem. Open the default.aspx file in Dreamweaver, modify the table and add the two text (Edit | Delete) shown below.

Click File New... and click on Dynamic Page ASP.NET VB and click Create. Hit Ctrl+S and save your site as edit.aspx.  Click on Bindings in the Application window and create the dataset shown below, your dataset name can be different.

with that click ok.

Next Click, Insert Application Objects update Record Record update form wizard. with that you should see the window  below.

Fill in the information according to the image above. referring to the form wizard above, click on ID and remove if from the table using the minus  (-) sign, do the same for Deleted. After that press ok. When you press ok, dreamweaver should have created the form shown below.

Click back over to the default.aspx page, double click on edit.

With Edit Highlighted, click on the yellow folder shown below.

After clicking on the yellow folder it will bring up the select file window, from there click on parameter, with that you will see the window below

In the Name field Type in id, in the value window click on the lightning bolt and select ID as shown below.

After that click ok, two time. You should be at the window below.

make sure you select the edit.aspx page you previously created and click ok. Now Press F+12 to preview the default.aspx page. Click on edit and this should take you to the edit page you created. Change some of the information and see if it updates. Click here to see a video example of how the edit works.

Finished:
