This book is a complete reference to the ASP.NET namespaces for developers who are already familiar with using ASP.NET. There is no trivial introductory material or useless .NET hype - we get stuck into the .NET Framework and don't look back. We provide in-depth coverage of all the major ASP.NET classes in a pure reference format, giving you those real-world tips that the documentation doesn't offer, and demonstrating complex techniques with simple examples.
Each chapter covers another of the ASP.NET namespaces, from System.Web right through to System.Web.Services.Protocols, with coverage of individual classes, methods, and properties presented in easy-to-use alphabetical order. For anyone who is serious about getting the most out of the ASP.NET classes, this book is a must.

For any Web developer tackling Microsoft's new .NET platform, ASP.NET Programmer's Reference is the perfect guide to digging into the APIs and programming techniques you need to start writing in real projects.
While billed as a "reference", which it surely is, this title is also a strong choice for a tutorial for getting to work with the powerful .NET Framework in a hurry. Early sections set the stage with a comparison of the older ASP standard and the advantages of the new ASP.NET. The authors then dig right in with essential APIs that will get you started here, such as using built-in objects for requests, sessions and cookies. Short code excerpts in VB.NET and C# illustrate just how to do it.
The new choices for ADO.NET components will surely challenge new .NET programmers. This book excels at describing all your options here, from simpler HTML controls, to the new Web Forms options. Standout sections here include full coverage of the variety of list components available in ASP.NET from simple Lists to grids and Repeater controls. For wireless development, the authors reprise their coverage of controls with those available for PDAs and handhelds in Microsoft's Mobile Internet Toolkit.
Successful ASP.NET development requires more than using Web controls. A really useful section here tours the "core" .NET system classes for collections, regular expressions and file I/O will let you perform basic tasks in your Web applications.
Later sections turn toward server-side options available in.NET, from caching pages for better performance, to configuration options (using new configuration properties files) and a rich tour of the security options for ASP.NET programmers (including the new Microsoft Passport service). Excellent coverage of the standards and classes you will need to implement Web services and XML rounds out this book. A reference section with complete code examples for common ASP.NET tasks (including building a simple Web service) rounds out this title.
The .NET Framework is powerful and complicated enough, but armed with ASP.NET Programmer's Reference, busy developers can master the most important classes and APIs in order to start creating the next round of Windows software on .NET. --Richard Dragan
This book is not meant as a tutorial to ASP.NET, and is not recommended for people who are fresh to .NET. We are assuming you are already aware of how to program with ASP.NET, but need a more complete reference to the relevant namespaces than is provided in the documentation.
The code and syntax examples in the book are all in C#.
