What is the best way to make a news reporting tool?

I'm finally getting into the real power .NET 2.0 and I've been looking around for some good material for making a dynamic news page on my main site. I'd like to generate news posts with a submission form similar to that of these forums with the latest 3 submissions showing up. Where's a good place to start with this? I've tried using code examples from the club site starter kit and I get close, but it just becomes a huge ambiguous looking mess when I think I've finally got it. Can someone point me in the right direction? I just want a news template.

I'm using:
ASP.NET2.0
SQL Server 2005
IIS 6.0

First, break it down in parts

First, you must create a submission page (doesn't need to be separate) or section (Insert into Database)
Next, you must display the top 3 (select top 3 Titles from newsTable)
At that point, you must create each of these items, using a hyperlink or linkbutton, which will then:
When clicked, query the database, based on the item you selected, to show the whole article.


You are very helpful. Thanks.Geeked

I know I'm going to need a submission page and I should probably work on it first. Iam going to make it a separate page since I only want admins to have submission access.

I do not know how to make the newsTable items or how to get them to list the top three. I would also like to use SQL Express as the data store. I hope I'm not asking too much here.Party!!!


Hi DaemonDraxx,

You can design your news tables base on requirement with SQL Express Edition, for more information, seeSQL Server 2005 Express Edition for Beginners.

You can access database and perform data binding, for more information, seeASP.NET Data Access Overview.

I hope this helps.
