It is an online timetable creator which takes the information from different schools , stored them in a DB then build a timetabel object for each school.

first: what type of a website/project should i use in visual sudio 2010?

second: how i can store the timetabel object -that made from C# class- and make reference to its school row in a DB? Thanks =')

Answer 1

Hmm. Not sure I understand the question. I'd use a typical ASP.NET Web Application project type.

As for the database question, I think you'll want to have a "School" table as well as a "Timetable" table. Then you can create a linking table (something like "SchoolTimetable") which links one school's ID to a timetable's ID. That would be the strict way to do it. If it's a 1-to-1 relationship, however, you can simply have a TimetableID column in the school table, or vice-versa, a SchoolID column in the Timetable table.

Hope this helps.

Use Web Site project if your are planning to make rather simple than complex solution. It is at least easier to debug.
