User Review:


I think this is the best book available on ASP.NET on the market.Unlike some of the other books that I have read this book is not a rehash of the .NET documentation. This book brings a lot of clarity to some of the stuff I had been struggling with. The writing style is very clear and crisp. Advanced topics are covered with excellent examples. Again unlike other books, the projects and samples presented are not "toy" samples but real code that you can use. I simply love the GenEditAdd custom control described in this book and I am already using this in my projects. Basically this custom control hooks onto the DataGrid and allows you to edit and insert rows into the grid. It automatically builds an input form by reading the SQL behind the DataGrid. It allows you to have drop-down columns (which is not possible with the DataGrid) and quite a few other features. The book is strong on web services and completely describes a Quicken like accounting application and an inventory application using web services. Visual studio is described in detail and again I like the authors approach of first describing and then looking at each detail under the magnifying glass.
