Building Web Solutions
Most Web applications follow a simple "3F" pattern: fetch, format, and forward data to the browser. With this in-depth guide, developers can take their Web design and programming skills to the next level to build more complex Web pages, applications, and services. Discover how to build applications for ad hoc and effetive Web reporting, applictions that work disconnected from the data source and use XML to communicate with non-Microsoft .NET systems, and general purpose applications that take advantage of code reusability, user controls, code-behind, custom Web controls, and other time saving techniques employed by ASP.NET experts. The book demonstrates the advanced data-access capabilities of ADO.NET and the powerful page-creation capabilities of ASP.NET, plus how to employ code reusability, pagelets, code-behind, server-side controls, and other time-saving techniques. Topics include data-bound .net Controls; and code reusability in .net.

C# Web Development for ASP.NET
C# was developed from the ground up to serve as the main language for Microsoft's new .NET framework--and to compete with Java. C# Web Development for ASP.NET (Visual QuickStart Guide) is aimed at beginning developers who may have experience with scripting languages but are not necessarily experienced with object-oriented languages. Using task-based examples and hundreds of screenshots, all code examples are presented in the context of ASP.NET development, aimed at Web developers. While C# Web Development for ASP.NET (Visual QuickStart Guide) does not attempt to teach everything about the .NET Framework, it clearly explains all you need to know to get up and running with the C# language. C# is the premier language of Microsoft's .NET framework. This text provides a task-based, visual, step-by-step guide to learning C#. Works like a reference book -- you look up what you need then get straight to work. Jose Mojica is an instructor and researcher.

CodeNotes for ASP.NET
CodeNotes provides the most succinct, accurate, and speedy way for a developer to ramp up on a new technology or language. Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and pocket references. CodeNotes for ASP.NET is a revolutionary update to Microsoft's Active Server Pages. This edition explores how Web applications and Web services can be developed using ASP.NET. The .NET architecture, Base Class Libraries, ASP.NET form designer, Web controls, and cross-page and cross-language debugging are discussed. Scaling ASP.NET to multiple servers, state management, security, and methods of enhancing performance are also covered. All major aspects of ASP.NET are covered including security, caching, web forms, and session storage.

Connection Pooling
Most people have heard of Connection Pooling and most applications make use of it, but not everyone understands what it is or how it works. To help shed some light on the topic, this article will present an in depth look at connection pooling and how it is implemented. After an explanation of connection pooling, this article will look how it is enabled and configured in non traditional ASP (non .NET) applications and then at connection pooling in ASP.NET applications, pointing out similarities and differences between the two. Connection Pooling in ASP vs ASP.NET Applications was written by Jeremy Raccio for ASPToday. The ebook (e-book) requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed so that you can view PDF files. This title is not compatible with Pocket PCs, PDAs, or other handhelds. It is both compatible with Macintosh OS 9.x or later and Windows.

Creating Dynamic ASP.NET
One of the advantages of the XML/XSLT combination is the ability to separate content from presentation. A data source can return an XML document, then by using an XSLT, the data can be transformed into whatever HTML is needed, based on the data in the XML document. The release of ASP.NET changes this picture somewhat. ASP.NET provides server controls that have advanced functionality, such as state management, input validation, and data binding. In order to use this functionality, you need to create the controls on the server in a design time phase or at runtime from code. The place of XML/XSLT technology in the ASP.NET model is not obvious, as the server controls generate their own HTML. The flexibility of XML/XLST can be combined with the power of ASP.NET server controls by using an XSLT to generate the server controls dynamically, thus leveraging the best of both worlds. This synergy is demonstrated by creating a survey application.

Creating Thumbnails using ASP.NET
As you will no-doubt be discovering, the .NET framework includes some extremely useful functionality and collections of namespaces. One of the most intriguing is the system.drawing namespace which allows the programmer to work with images. This article will take you on a gentle journey through the system.drawing namespaces specifically the 2D and imaging libraries, showing how we can use the functionality to work with and manipulate images and deliver our new images to the web site visitor's browser. Creating Thumbnails and image manipulation using ASP.NET was written by Chris Garrett for ASP Today. The ebook (e-book) is fully accessible online and requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or later installed so that you can view PDF files. This title is not compatible with Pocket PCs, PDAs, or other handhelds. Chris Garrett is the Technical Manager for a large European Web agency. He has been working with Internet technologies since 1994.

Debugging ASP.NET
The typical web or software developer spends over 50% of his or her time debugging code, yet most development books spend little (if any) time on the subject. Debugging ASP.NET concentrates on debugging issues related to Microsoft's new web development platform, ASP.NET. All of the new debugging tools introduced in ASP.NET are covered, and solutions are offered to many of the confusing error messages, pitfalls, and "gotchas" that developers will no doubt encounter while moving to this powerful new platform. Debugging ASP.NET is poised to become the de facto standard in ASP.NET debugging. Each debugging feature is closely examined, with full descriptions and related, useful code. This is the first book on ASP.NET that assumes things can (and will) go wrong, providing expert tips and solutions. Directed toward experienced developers and project managers, this useful volume provides a resource for figuring out the bugs in your code.

Designing Active Server Pages
Active Server Pages (ASP) is one of the most popular and acessible methods for developing dynamic web pages. As the number of web pages grows and expands into entire web applications, performing such routine tasks as maintaing the pages, upgrading the scripts, and diagnosing and correcting bugs become a nightmare. Designing Active Server Pages shows ASP developers how to reuse code by looking for common functionality and by seperating the presentation element of web pages from script. With a focus on techniques and features available in ASP 3.0 and VBScript 5.0+, topics include: scripting blocks or code libraries using the #include server-side directive or the Server.Transfer method; developing and using classes by using ClassEnd Class construct added to VBScript 5.0; maximizing ASP's language independence by using another scripting language (like JScript, Perl, or Python); Creating simple COM components to encapsulate common functionality.

Designing Distributed Applications
Designing Distributed Applications is all about creating Cooperative Network Applications. Their aim is to promote the re-use of Intranet and Internet applications and maintain the viability of applications in the face of change. Using Stephen's 5 Principles of Cooperative Network Application Development, you can create applications that can promote themselves on the network, sharing data and logic with clients of varying levels of sophistication. Using XML to define data exchange in such a way that future applications will also be able to negotiate an exchange format - even in the face of minor programming errors or evolving data definitions. Using LDAP this can take place on a network where we query for the services without knowing their location. The result is a distributed computing environment that will remain robust while users and resources are in flux. Stephen Mohr began programming in high school, back when that was somewhat unusual.
