This article serie will try to show some ASP.NET programming in reality, trying to take things one step further than "Hello world".
We will create a really simple and fictive "customer" management system, allowing for fileuploading (associating files such as PDF:s, images etc) to each customer.
My point is to show how to do things with code - rather than with the designtime controls. I have a strong belief in coding instead of trying to change and configure designtime properties.
We will start off by using SQL Server, store our binary files in the database (although I advise against it) and a really miminalistic approach using datatables and datasets directly from the ASPX pages - but eventually we will turn it into a multitiered solution with BLL and multiple DALS (supporting MySQL as well).
Note - I don't claim the coding you will find to be "the best practice" ever, or even better than anything else at all - but it works best for me and therefore it IS best practice - for me.
