Part III: Setting Up a New Web Project

Step 1

Start Visual InterDev. Choose New from the File menu. When the New dialog box appears, click the Projects tab, and choose the Web Project wizard. Then specify a location for your project files in the Location text box, give your project the name EMailInfo, and click OK.

The Web Project wizard will ask you for the name of the Web server on which the new project will be created. If this text box contains an entry, you can accept it; if the box is empty, type the name of the machine that is running Internet Information Server (or Personal Web Server). (If you don't know the correct name of your Web server, look up the Identification information by using the Network applet in the Control Panel.) Click Next.

The Web Project wizard will contact the selected Web server and present you with the step 2 dialog box. Choose the option Create A New Web. Make sure the name of the web is EMailInfo.

The Web Project wizard will create your new web and open the project.

Step 2

This project utilizes a Microsoft Access database named EMAILINFO.MDB to provide the online database of information. In order to access this database, you must establish an ODBC data source on your machine. Set up the ODBC data source in the ODBC Data Source Administrator, and name the source EMailInfo.

Step 3

Return to Visual InterDev. Now you will add the data source to your web project. On the FileView tab, click the project title and then choose Add To Project/Data Connection from the Project menu. When the Select Data Source dialog box appears, click the Machine Data Source tab and choose the EMailInfo data source. Click the OK button. Visual InterDev will add a new data connection to your web project based on the EMailInfo data source.
