I know how to connect to MySql using PHP, and even ActionScript. Recently I began exploring ASP both VB and JavaScript. Preferably I would want to know how to connect to MySql server using ASP @language="javascript". What is actually the industry standard (if I were to find a job) for dynamic programming and databases. Is it Asp or Php. And what are files with extension .aspx. What is the difference between asp and .Net??? Anyways, the main focus of this thread is how do I connect to MySql using asp. There is a lot of tutorials on how to connect to Microsoft Access and this is not what I want ulness it is the industry's standard.

you would need to first provision the mysql database as a DSN via IIS. then you would connect to it as normal like any other DSN.
