Editorial Review:
Book DescriptionThis book looks at how we can create data-centric asp.net applications. Written and organised in the classic Wrox Beginning style, this book is packed full of excellent code examples, which demonstrate important fundamental principles. Requiring some basic knowledge of ASP.net and Access or a SQL-based RDBMS, the authors initially guide you through the processes involved in connecting ASP.net pages to a database and investigate the various ways of reading data. They then explore all the major issues involved in data heavy asp.net programming, including some slightly more advanced topics such as using stored procedures and components.
All of the material in beginning asp.net Databases is real-world useful, and the multitude of examples ensure that you are in the driving seat on your way to becoming a succesful ASP.net programmer.

Rating: - Good book but examples are not always working
This book is very readable and very well suited for beginning asp.net programmers. It makes you feel at ease with asp.net. Too bad the examples don't always work. For instance, the final chapter 12 makes you write an application with all the stuff you've learned in the previous chapters. The code that is provided, doesn't work at all. I get error after error and that's a shame because I really want to see the information being used in a real world example.
Rating: - Concise and Informative
This one gets you up and running with database prograaming with ASP.NET in a matter of few hours. In the process, it also provides you with useful real-world tips. Great book for getting your feet wet with ADO.NET. The treatment is to-the-point and precise. All the sample codes work. The pathway followed is quite logical, starting from establishing connection to database, to various ways of reading and displaying records, followed by inserting and updating records, all using ADO.NET. ...

Rating: - not bad for basic but shame about the last 2 chapters
on the whole this is a very good book for beginners The last two chapters which i thought were the most useful was RUSHED!!
The performance chapter should not have been a chapter since it was non-existent
The most important chapter of all the bidding web site construction, I failed to get it to work!! one error after the other. For a book with so many authors, I would have thought at least one of the would have had the time to review the code ... Read More
Rating: - Great book from Chap 1-6
I went through this book. It is great for the beginner to ASP.Net. However, I think it is because there are many authors worked on this book. Its contents is NOT so integrated.
I felt I gain a lot from chap 1-6, however after ch7, it seems worked by another author. The concept between two of them has conflict. For example, the author ch1-6 said using ADO.net data adapter you don't need to open and close the data connection, but in ch7, the author said, you must close the connect obj after you ... Read More
Rating: - Great for the beginner
It is not until you read a book that is dedicated to using databases in ASP.NET that you realize just how much there is to learn. This is a very readable & well structured book with excellent `Try It Out' examples that provide easy to follow step-by-step guides.
Obviously understanding data readers, datasets, command objects and web server controls is vital but there are some rare and extremely useful chapters: componentization - leveraging class libraries for data access, performance, and ... Read More
