an appropriate webpage, connect it to the database, retrieve and display all Collector
records in a GridView control on the Webpage.

Code for Sub Question a)

Dim cmd = New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Collector_TB", con)
Dim olda = New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim dt = New DataTable()
olda.Fill(dt)
ArtistGridView.DataSource = dt
ArtistGridView.DataBind()
End Sub
Code for Sub Question b)

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
