I rarely use ASP NET I'm putting it off until ASP.NET 2.0 is released later this year since the output from 2.0 is HTML and comes close to validity as strict out of the box.
Having said that you need to read up a bit on object oriented languages. PHP is a scripting language while C# is object oriented language and a standard http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm (not Microsoft proprietary just like the dotnet cli http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-335.htm which is why there au FreeBSD-OSX versions available as well as the Mono implementations) Unlike PHP and Classic ASP ASP.NET uses postmarks via runoff server. It is a completely different methodology. What you would do in PHP is much more comparable to Classic ASP. With C# you would create your form with runat="server" and you can either round trip on every entry or you can submit all at the end of the form. Validation is built into the form tag if you choose to require it. The processing including inserting into two different tables would be done by a compiled ascx page. You need to take a step back and forget how you would do it in PHP. I'm serious about that people who come from classic asp have similar problem. You might take a look at http://www.uberasp.net/getarticle.aspx?id=6 and see if it gives you any ideas. Beyond that I'd really suggest posting a question where people who work with C# and ASP.NET on a daily basis hang out. Besides the Microsoft MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/ lots of tutorials, code snippets and downloads available there. Other places like http://asp.net and http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/ will provide access to people who know ASP.NET inside out and are willing to share. Cheryl D.
