The Personal Site Starter Kit from Microsoft is typical personal site that includes a photo album system. Also included are static pages for a resume and links and comes in your choice of white or black… just change the theme!
I was new to .NET and I had been trying to work with the Personal Starter Kit as a learning tool. Unfortunately, my host did not allow the use of SQL Express 2005 and SQL Server will cost extra.
I converted the “personal” database into MS Access and then used the Sample Access Provider Starter Kit to modify the Login controls to use a MS Access database. Now the project runs on two MS Access databases.
I created a C# version and VB.net. Check the original forum post for help.
