Essential ASP.NET with Examples in Visual Basic .NET is the Visual Basic programmer's definitive reference for ASP.NET through version 1.1. It provides experienced programmers with the information needed to fully understand the technology, and is a clear guide to using ASP.NET to build robust and well-architected Web applications.

This book begins with a discussion of the rationale behind the design of ASP.NET and an introduction to how it builds on top of the .NET framework. Subsequent chapters explore the host of new features in ASP.NET, including the server-side compilation model, code-behind classes, server-side controls, form validation, the data binding model, and custom control development. Throughout the book, working examples illustrate best practices for building Web-based applications in VB.NET.

Among the topics explored in depth are:

  • ASP.NET architecture
  • Web forms
  • Configuration
  • HTTP pipeline
  • Diagnostics and error handling
  • Validation
  • Data binding
  • Custom controls
  • Caching
  • State management
  • Security

Essential ASP.NET with Examples in Visual Basic .NET provides readers with the know-how needed to build more powerful, better architected Web applications with ASP.NET.

Really teaches you how ASP.NET works
The author explains things so clearly and thoroughly. Understanding is power! When I got the book I didn't expect that I would read every chapter, but once I got started I WANTED to. Thanks for an outstanding book.
