Hi Jeff, I am in agreement with Victor Using a database like(MySQL or SQL Server) is the best way to go. MySQL sets up faster and is lighter. Steps you would take will be: -install the Database server -create the table with the fields you want to store (name, age, etc.) -Save(Name) the table how you want (example: give the table the name "PersonInfo") -create a new Asp.Net Web Application Project in Visual Studio -use a web form in your project -From the Toolbox Menu search for "GridView"(it's easier to use as a beginner with data) then drag onto your web form. -you will have to click the right arrow and set up your datasource (which includes the connection credentials-user name-password you already set in MySQL or whichever database you use). Once that is set up you should be able to run the application and edit/Add new data to your database table. I would however highly recommend you navigate to some place like this: Microsoft Virtual Academy – Free Online Training for Developers, IT Professionals and Data Scientists[^] and view some Beginner tutorials on Visual Studio to become more familiar with the interface and check out this to get familiar with MySQL(if you choose to use it): Create Schema and table - MYSQL workbench - YouTube[^] In short to store and retrieve data via application you need -Database(and tables) -Application to read/write the information to the DB Happy hunting Regards, Patrick *Note why pay when info is free :)
