Programming asp.net (o'reilly windows)

In Programming ASP.NET, Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz teach you everything you need to know to write web applications and web service applications using both C# and Visual Basic .NET. With a detailed tutorial on Web Forms, it allows you to apply Rapid Application Development techniques (including drag-and-drop control placement) to web development. This book includes extensive coverage of each type of server control, including web server controls, HTML server controls, and custom controls. Programming ASP.NET also offers extensive coverage of data access issues, including topics such as using ASP.NET's list-bound controls; accessing data using the ADO.NET object model, and updating data with or without transaction support. Programming ASP.NET then goes on to discuss such advanced topics as caching and performance, security, and configuration and deployment. The ASP.NET technologies are so complete and flexible; your main difficulty may lie simply in weaving the pieces together for maximum efficiency. Programming ASP.NET shows you how to do just that.
