Create a dynamic slide show with ASP.NET and Active Slideshow Pro
I was asked to write this tutorial after posting some code on how to get active slide show to work with asp.net. Actually it is easier then you would expect. In the following tutorial I’ll explain on a step by step basis the approach. I haven’t seen a cooler slide show, except for the slide show on an apple Macintosh, which looks exactly the same as Active Slide Show Pro (and also uses the same Ken Burns effects). But the benefit of Active Slide Show Pro is that you can use it on your website and let the whole world enjoy your slideshows. Feel free to ask any questions if you cannot get things to work.

Working with Data in ASP.NET 2.0 - Querying Data with the SqlDataSource Control
All of the tutorials we’ve examined so far have used a tiered architecture consisting of presentation, Business Logic, and Data Access layers. The Data Access Layer (DAL) was crafted in the first tutorial (Creating a Data Access Layer) and the Business Logic Layer in the second (Creating a Business Logic Layer). Starting with the Displaying Data With the ObjectDataSource tutorial, we saw how to use ASP.NET 2.0’s new ObjectDataSource control to declaratively interface with the architecture from the presentation layer. While all of the tutorials so far have used the architecture to work with data, it is also possible to access, insert, update, and delete database data directly from an ASP.NET page, bypassing the architecture. Doing so places the specific database queries and business logic directly in the web page. For sufficiently large or complex applications, designing, implementing, and using a tiered architecture is vitally important for the success, updatability, and maintainability of the application. Developing a robust architecture, however, can be overkill when creating exceedingly simple, oneoff applications.
