Download the sample code and study it.

If you haven't downloaded SQL Management Studio Express yet, d/l and install it :
It makes managing SQL Server Express 2005 a whole lot easier.

There's a version of SQL Server Express 2005 which includes
SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE).

It's called "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services".

You can download it, and also the stand-alone version of SSMSE, at :

One last suggestion...

Download ASPXFormsGen, a free tool which generates data acess web forms
using as its basis a pointer to any data table...and study the code it produces:
