Programming Data-Driven Web Applications with ASP.NET (Sams White Book)
A revolution in developing software is coming and it’s called the .NET Framework. This broad Microsoft strategy opens doors to exciting new concepts such as Web services, which deliver the software you create as services that dish out data via XML over the Net. ASP.NET and ADO.NET are key elements to this new approach, improving the efficiency of Web page coding and database access respectively. Programming Data-Driven Web Applications with ASP.NET provides an excellent introduction to this brave new world of database-driven Web development for seasoned and novice programmers alike.
The book dives into ASP.NET with a breakdown of its new features such as server side controls and event handling, Web services and session state management. It then clearly points out the advantages of ADO.NET–interoperability, a strong-typed programming model, higher disconnected performance, and better scalability. Readers will learn about managed providers and get a tutorial on ANSI SQL and the nitty gritty of database access. Plenty of example code is presented in both Visual Basic.NET and C#.
The book explains how XML and SOAP–the protocol for exchanging XML data–work together as the transmission mechanism behind the scenes of .NET applications. The centerpiece of this new architecture is the Web services feature, and this text covers this powerful Web-callable interface well. ASP.NET and ADO.NET require somewhat of a new programming mindset from previous coding platforms, but this easy-to-read tutorial provides an easy entry point. –Stephen W. Plain

Its a great book. I was able to use this book right away for my work. Covers ADO.net a must have in your library.
Customer Review: One Book for Begginer & Experienced Programmer
If you want to learn ASP.NET using C#.NET for database applications programming from one book, than this is the best choice you can go with. There are lot of features which make this book different and unique from some others, but I should mention a few :
1. All examples code has been provided in C#.NET.
2. All example code is found to be working and the approach and logic are professional.
3. The major covering is about the Web controls(DataGrid and DataSet are the focal point).
4. Advanced topics such as XML,SOAP,BLOB,WebServices, Authentication, and Caching are added advantage.
The learner must have knowledge of Visual Studio for benifiting from this guide. Buy Now!
