Product DescriptionASP.NET 2.0 Programming: Problem Design Solution is aimed at describing, designing, and implementing a site much like the ones you’re probably working on or will be soon, while taking the opportunity to introduce and explain many of the new features that the new great ASP.NET 2.0 framework offers. Difficult problems are addressed head-on so you'll be ready for most of the problems you’ll typically face when writing a modern website, and have one or more solutions ready for them.
Unlike many other ASP.NET books that show examples for individual pages or features, the example in this book is an integrated end-to-end site (written in C#). The entire book and site has been written specifically for ASP.NET 2.0, to use the ASP.NET 2.0 features wherever they make sense.
The end-result is a website which features a layout with user-selectable themes, a membership system, a content management system for publishing and syndicating articles and photos, polls, mailing lists, forums, an e-commerce store with support for real-time credit card processing, homepage personalization, and localization. The book leads the reader through development of a site with:
Account registration, personalization and theming
News and events, organized into categories
Opinion polls
Newsletter
Forums
E-commerce store with shopping cart and order management
Localization
Administration of a site will be covered including:
Full online back-end administrative section, to manage practically all data from an intuitive user interface
Site deployment
In building these site features, you'll learn these new ASP.NET 2.0 features:
Master pages
Theming
Personalization & Web parts
Membership & Profile modules
Personalization
The new server-side UI controls such as GridView, DetailsView, FormView, Wizard, MultiView, the new xxxDataSource and navigation controls, among others.
The new compilation mode and deployment modes
The new framework for instrumenting the site, as well as handling & logging exceptions
The new ADO.NET 2.0 features (e.g. caching with database dependency)
The new classes for easy distributed transactions Management

Average Rating:
Rating: - Great examples in this book for real world applications
The web site that this book creates by the end is a great example of a content management system. I don't get to program often, so seeing an implemented version of a 3-tier web site is valuable. The example in this book goes a long way to show (not just tell) why 3-tier design can be so beneficial. Lots of other great examples too that you would have a tough time finding in on-line forums, such as caching and paging directly from the database. I liked the extra touch of the last chapter, which ... Read More
Rating: - Not for beginners
Even in the books preface, it says it's not a book for beginners. It's geared more toward asp.net developers that have at least dabbled in design using Visual Studio. The book is more or less one big practical example. I recommend it for the novice+ developers of ASP.NET.
Rating: - Great book to get up to speed on 2.0
This book is a great example of how to utilize VS 2005/Web 2.0 principles. There are a few components you can rip right out and utilize for other sites, it is a great addition to anyone's toolbox.
Rating: - A top ASP.Net 2.0 effort
For those who want to understand and work with sophisticated ASP.Net 2.0 websites and are familiar with many of the detailed aspects of the technology side of things, this book is a terrific find. After having pushed through the details of each of the major areas of .Net and having become Microsoft certified, it was still a leap to make some valuable use of what the .Net can be used as in the real world. This is where to go next to pull the syntax and the quality techniques together.
Rating: - Excellent Book
As a recent college graduate I felt like I needed to know a little more about asp.net 2.0 before I started trying to code for a living. This book
blew me away with all it offered. Its simply the best book you can buy for learning to program using C# and Asp.net to create ntier architecture solutions.
