Professional ASP .NET (Programmer to programmer) [Illustrated] (Paperback)

This 1300-page title has the necessary breadth, with plenty of background information on the .NET Framework alongside the core material on ASP.NET itself. The opening chapters explain the differences between old-style ASP and ASP.NET, introduce the .NET Framework and the CLR (Common Language Runtime) on which it runs and describe the .NET languages. Next comes an explanation of ASP.NET basics, including compiled code behind ASP pages, server-side controls, Web forms and page state management. There is strong coverage of database features, such as data -bound controls, .NET database classes, working with XML and managing datasets. A valuable chapter on configuration explains session state, scaling with Web farms, handling errors and controlling the ASP.NET process itself. A series of mo re specialist chapters form the last third of the book, covering security, component writing, Web Services, mobile controls, debugging and migration. There is also a complete e-commerce case-study.

Wrox Press has hosted a number of conferences on .NET technology, working closely with Microsoft and, although they are working from Beta 2 of the .NET SDK, these authors have long-standing experience of their subject. This is an excellent title for Web developers who need to be ready for this significant new technology. --Tim Anderson

Microsoft's Active Server Pages technology is still a relatively new way to create dynamic Web sites and Web-based distributed applications. During its short life span, however, it has evolved to become the foremost tool in the Windows-oriented Web programmer's toolbox. The latest version, ASP.NET, is a major breakthrough for developers, giving more functionality and flexibility than ever before, while enabling them to write less code. ASP.NET isn't just a point upgrade, but is an evolutionary leap in the whole concept of dynamic Web applications.

This comprehensive compendium combines plenty of practical code examples and a comprehensive case study with the information you need to master ASP.NET and build dynamic, successful, enterprise Web applications.

This book covers:

ASP.NET and the .NET Framework

Creating ASP.NET pages and working with server controls

Data in ASP.NET and an introduction to ADO.NET

ASP.NET class libraries

Configuration and deployment

XML as an integral part of data manipulation

Using Web Services to provide asynchronous background services to applications
