ASP.NET IronPython Resource

ASP.NET is Microsoft's web programming framework. It is widely used and contends with PHP for the title of most used web framework. IronPython can be used with ASP.NET through IronPython ASP.NET Futures.

A new blog has started, called ASP.NET IronPython Resource, which has started a tutorial series on using IronPython with ASP.NET. There are currently two entries. The first gets you started creating new sites with either Visual Studio 2005 or 2008. It creates a "Hello World" application using the visual designer for the webform, and shows the IronPython code behind.

The second entry is a tutorial that shows connecting to a database with databinding to a gridview. The example project is available for download.

• Creating a basic ASP.NET form (Part 1)
• Connecting to a database and using the gridview (Part 2)
