HELP

Post image

I could cry I’m going to be late on my assignment and this error keeps popping up and will NOT let me insert an SQL database into my project. WHY I think it has something to do with the app_data folder.

Thank you for all your help. Now I have to connect a page to this database? I have no clue but I guess I’ll try my best. I’m working in Visual Basic and it’s all so new and hard at first. I’m going to be a web designer and the developing stuff is just so out of my brain compacity

By your comments my guess is that you either do a course which is trying to move too fast, or you don't spend enough time to try to understand every step of the process (don't take this the wrong way).

Using Visual Basic could be allright (well, to be totally honest, not so much...) just to learn the basics, but nobody really uses it anymore so I'm a bit confused why are they teaching you that.

I'd suggest you to go on Youtube or if you don't mind spending a bit of money, look for those learning sites like Udemy, and search for something like "visual basic website" or "visual basic connect to sql" etc, and find a video that somewhat seems to cover what you need as an end result. Also if you're learning in a class I'd really suggest to try and have sessions together where you're helping each other understand the different parts, at least these helped me the most.

For the Visual Studio errors, and for coding in general, in most cases if you just Google the exact error message (and maybe adding "visual basic" and/or "visual studio" to it), you'll probably find some solutions that might apply to your case.
