ASP.NET Website Programming shows you how to build an interactive website from design to deployment. Packed with solutions to website programming problems, this book will have you building well-engineered, extendable ASP.NET websites quickly and easily. This book is for developers who use ASP.NET and Visual Basic .NET or use Visual Studio .NET Professional or above or Visual Basic .NET Standard.

The book concentrates on websites that focus on content. It does not show how to produce an e-commerce system, although a lot of the advice will apply to e-commerce sites. We could add a shopping basket module using the same foundations, for example. This book is different from most Wrox books, because we build a single working website throughout the book. However, each chapter stands alone and shows how to develop individual modules, which you can adapt for your own websites. We also suggest a framework that allows us to create modules and slot them in to the website quickly and easily.

The book is for developers who have a reasonable knowledge of ASP.NET, and want to apply that knowledge to building websites. You will get the most from this book if you have read a decent amount of Wrox's Beginning ASP.NET using Visual Basic .NET, or Professional ASP.NET and a VB.NET book. You should be comfortable using Visual Studio .NET to create ASP.NET projects, and that you know VB.NET.

The most up–to–date and comprehensive introductory ASP.NET book you’ll find on any shelf, Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in VB 2008 guides you through Microsoft’s latest technology for building dynamic web sites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of VB 2008.

The book provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and tuning your site for optimal performance. Within these pages, you’ll find tips for “best practices” and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to building real–world web sites right from the beginning rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices.

By the time you’ve finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

With this book, web developers can build engaging and interactive sites and applications using Microsoft's latest web development tools — ASP.NET 2.0 and the new ASP.NET AJAX framework. You learn to create applications that have all the great tricks you see on popular commercial web sites, such as order forms and the ability to interact with a database. And you can build pages that display information interactively without a page refresh. This straightforward tutorial explains how.

Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX helps you master the concepts and techniques of Microsoft's tools with plenty of annotated examples, review quizzes, web construction exercises and chapter summaries, so you can practice new skills and test your understanding as you go. With it, you'll learn to:

• Master the fundamental skills of ASP.NET 2.0 to build professional quality web applications
• Integrate new Ajax tools and CSS with ASP.NET 2.0 for flashier and more interactive sites
• Build applications with minimal coding using Visual Studio or its free counterpart, Visual Web Developer
• Connect your site with a database so that users can retrieve, interact and save data
• Debug your application, deal with unexpected problems, and protect your site from malicious users
• Use the community-maintained ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit to extend the controls that come with ASP.NET AJAX
• Use personalization tools to give your site a customized look for each user

Ideal for beginning web developers, or those who are new to ASP.NET, this book gets you involved with your own learning through hands-on lessons that are clear and to the point. You get the chance to try out new techniques on the spot. Want to join the world of modern web development? This book will get you started

The ASP.NET 2.0 Framework consists of two groups of components. The first group contains server controls, that is, those components that directly or indirectly derive from the ASP.NET Controlbase class. This group includes security controls, tabular and hierarchical data source controls such as SqlDataSourceand XmlDataSource, Web Parts controls set, data-bound controls, and so on.

The second group contains the rest of the ASP.NET 2.0 components including HTTP modules, HTTP handlers, HTTP handler factories, security components such as RolePrincipal, RoleManagerModule, role providers, MembershipUserand membership providers, data control fields such as BoundField, data source control parameters such as ControlParameter, ISerializable, schema importer extensions, and so on.

This book covers both groups of ASP.NET 2.0 components. In other words, this book shows you how to develop not only server controls, which belong to the first group, but also components that belong to the second group.

This book is aimed at the ASP.NET developer who wants to learn how to build custom server controls and components for the first time. No knowledge of authoring custom server controls and components is assumed. It  provides you with detailed step-by-step recipes and real-world server controls and components developed using these recipes to help you gain the skills, knowledge, and experience that you need to develop
