Debugging an ASP.Net application

[Star]

I just started a new position and I found out that no one there knows
anything about this system.

I have an asp.net page that is linked to a c# program and a sequel sever
database.
I've changed the web.config file to match my test server and I compile
everything in a visual studio 2003.net solution.

When I browse the web page, nothing is brought back to the page.
Does the page in browse supposed to access the database and retreive data
back to the screen?

I noticed the production bin file has alot of .dll files. I brought them
into the solution and compiled them. Still nothing happened.

I am concerned when I bring this to production it is not going to work right
because it is on my local host and possibly not have the right .dlls and data
retreival.

Can anyone give me an answer or place to start? I have been trying to test
this for a week now and not getting resutls.

Thank you,
Star

You can't just bring the .dll's required by the app into your solution, you
must reference them.

hi ,pls put the code or tell exactly what u did .

If u have a valid db connection and tried to fill the controls , then
dont forget to call the control.databind() method after the datasource
method .I hope this may be the problem that u face i suspect .also
ensure that the page u expect to set as the startup page is set.

If u still getting probs , pls thow the code or exactly tell what u did
and what u want to do .

Hope this helps
