Back Cover Copy
This is the book every Internet application developer needs to quickly get up-to-speed on the new .NET and Visual Studio .NET technology used to build Windows applications. The authors provide authoratative information about the Common Language Runtime and .NET Foundation Classes, which form the building blocks for application development in the .NET universe. The construction of Web Services and how they communicate with each other is demystified by the thorough coverage of ASP.NET, XML, and ADO.NET.
Visual Basic® .NET Developer's Guide to ASP.NET, XML, and ADO.NET provides: - Unbiased, in-depth commentary on the efficacy of the various technologies that comprise .NET as they pertain to Internet database developers
- Technical know-how without crushing the reader with pointless detail
- Implementation details that replace and extend the existing Active Server Pages (ASP), XML, and ActiveX Data Object (ADO) functionality currently supported by Microsoft
- Practical Visual Basic .NET code examples that illustrate operations used most often by application developers
- Thorough reference material to the objects available in the Foundation Class libraries

Customer Reviews & Comments
As an experienced VB and ASP developer, I have spent the last year trying to make some progress in developing ASP.NET applications. 5-6 book purchases helped, but I never could really get the hang of it, until I got this book. After a very enjoyable time reading this book, and working through the examples, I am now going back through the other books, getting much more understanding from them. It's hard for me to say why this book proved to be so much more helpful, but it did. Jeffrey McManus is a good speaker and author, and this is the first book I've read from Chris Kinsman. Maybe it's their language that helped me, maybe it was the subjects they chose to spend time on, but one way or another, this book opened the floodgates for me. A couple of things I can definitely say that I found to be head and shoulders above other books are: 1) Lack of errors/typos, etc. I'm not saying there aren't any, but this book definitely was not one of those that make it harder to learn simply because you think what you are reading is right, and it isn't. I had zero problems like that. 2) Easy to follow code examples. So many books I've read make their examples too complex, expecting that you know everything that they are doing except for the one narrow thing they are trying to teach you. Like using regular expressions to validate email addresses before you save them to the database, and this in an example of "how to save to the database." This book has none of that junk. Each example cuts to the core of what it is trying to show you, and makes sure to explain it all, step by step. I can't wait for these guys to team up again.
