Author A few beginner questions...

Hello,

I have been working in ASP.NET / VB for a while using Dreamweaver.
I decided to start using Visual Studio 2003 or Web Matrix from ASP.NET.

My main focus is creating ASP.NET / VB web sites.
I believe Visual Studio 2003 might be the best option, right?

Well, for the past w I have been trying Visual Studio.
Some elements are familiar to me:
1. Web.Config File.
2. ASP.NET (aspx) pages.
3. CSS files.

However some elements are a little bit strange:
1. I have an SQL database set up.
Usually I create datasets on the .aspx files.
In Visual studio it seems the dataset is created using XML in XST
files.

Am I right? So how can I access the dataset in my aspx file?

2. What is global.asax? How does it work exactly?

3. Usually, in each page I place the scripts in each .aspx page.
Something like:
<script language="vb" runat="server">

In Visual Studio there are script files.
How can I link an .aspx page a script file?
Is a script file to be used only by one page or can be access by any?

Anyway, I know these are basic questions but I am really forward to use
on Visual Studio and somethings still look a little bit confusing.

Thank You Very Much,
Miguel
