ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed is the most comprehensive book available on the Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 Framework, covering all aspects of the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework--no matter how advanced. This edition covers all the new features of ASP.NET 3.5. It explains Microsoft LINQ to SQL in detail. It includes a chapter on the two new data access controls introduced with the ASP.NET 3.5 ListView and DataPager. With its coverage of ASP.NET AJAX, this book shows you how to take advantage of Microsoft’s server-side AJAX framework to retrofit existing ASP.NET applications with AJAX functionality. It also demonstrates how to use Microsoft’s client-side AJAX framework to build the web applications of the pure client-side AJAX applications. All code samples are written in the C# programming language. (Visual Basic versions of all code samples are included on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book.) CD-ROM includes all examples and source code presented in this book in both C# and Visual Basic.
Excellent book that takes programming knowledge from VB.net or C# and shows you some pretty advanced ASP.net techniques, from basic authentication to AJAX.
This book is a clear example of what a great mind Stephen is. (that is if you still did not know). He takes a very simplified clear and reusable approack in .net programming.
