Product Description
What's new and how to use it! That's what this book delivers if you're a C# developer who wants to upgrade from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0. In contrast to other books that present the what's new but ignore the how to, this book uses complete business applications to show you exactly how to take advantage of all the new, work-saving 2.0 features.
That means you'll get hands-on training in using: the new code-behind model that untangles aspx pages from their code-behind files; master pages, themes, and skins to standardize the look and feel of a site; data access features like the Access, SQL, and XML data sources and new bound data controls like GridView, DetailsView, and FormView; and object data sources that let you bind to custom business objects so you can create true 3-layer applications without sacrificing the convenience of data binding; site navigation features; login controls; profiles; web parts; the MultiView and Wizard; and more.
Beyond that, this book shows you howand whento convert 1.x applications to 2.0 and warns you about the problems you're most likely to encounter when converting. It shows you how to deploy your 2.0 applications to the production server. And it shows you how to use the new configuration tools to tame the ever-sprawling web.config file.
Publisher Description
If you’re a C# developer who’s going to be upgrading to ASP.NET 2.0 from ASP.NET 1.0 or 1.1, this book can save you many of hours of research. It can do that because we’ve already done that research for you. Then, we put that information into this single book that will help you upgrade to ASP.NET 2.0 as quickly and easily as possible.
Unlike most competing books, this one doesn’t just tell you what the new features are and how great they are and then let you figure out how to use them on your own. Instead, our book also shows you exactly how to use all of the new features so you get the most from them. That’s why we say that the purpose of this book is to show you: "What’s new and how to use it."
Like all our books, this one has features that you won’t find in competing books. That’s why we believe you’ll learn faster and better with our book than with any other.
Here are just three of those features.
• To make sure that you learn the new ASP.NET 2.0 features as quickly and easily as possible, all of the features are presented in the context of complete applications. These applications include the web forms, the aspx code, and the C# code. As we see it, the best way to learn is to study applications like these, even though you won’t find them in most competing books.
• Unlike many ASP.NET books, this one shows you how to get the most from Visual Studio 2005 as you develop your applications. Because we’ve found that this IDE is one of the keys to development productivity, we’re still surprised that most books ignore or neglect it.
• If you page through this book, you’ll see that all of the information is presented in "paired pages," with the essential syntax, guidelines, and examples on the right page and the perspective and extra explanation on the left page. This not only helps you learn faster by reading less, but it is also the best reference format that you’ll find anywhere. That’s why this book works so well for both training and reference.
Customer Reviews & Comments
It's always a challenge to publish a meaningful upgrade guide. The reader needs to know the version differences in a quick, but meaningful manner. This book does exactly that. It continues the "paired pages" format: how-to on the left page and examples on the right. The new 2.0 code-behind-model, master pages, data access features, site navigation, login controls, profiles, themes, web parts, and other new 2.0 changes are covered. In addition, the new features of Visual Studio 2005 and new C# languages features are discussed. As a professional developer, I need information that is accurate and easy to understand. This book qualifies on both counts.
