Reference: Build Your Own ASP.NET 4 Website Using C# and VB

To begin creating my project website, I downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio Express per the instructions in Build Your Own ASP.NET 4 Website Using C# and VB. I worked through the book and the lovely Dorknozzle Intranet project, up to the point where it explained db connections. I took a detour and found instructions elsewhere, as it uses Microsoft SQL Server and I am already happily using MySQL and Access.
