Teach Yourself ASP.NET
Building on an overview of the basic architecture of the .Net framework, Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 24 Hours guides the reader through ASP.NET's basic structure, function and working syntax (data types, operators, functions, web forms etc). The unique approach exposes and explains both VB.Net and C#, including examples for both. Then, the programmer is walked through the creation of a live ASP.NET application. Finally, concise explanations of data manipulation, security, deployment, and yes, even profiling/optimization are introduced. Joe Martinhas been developing client-server, client and web-based applications for more than 10 years. He is currently working as a Senior Software Engineer for NetIQ Corporation. His expertise covers a broad number of Microsoft development technologies, including Visual Basic, C++, ASP, IIS, MTS, Access, and SQL Server. Brett Tomson is a partner and developer with OSIRIS interactive.

Tracing and Instrumenting ASP.NET
Tracing enables you to monitor the execution of your application or web form as it is running, with a view at the values of variables or return codes at different points in time during execution. Unless your code is everything it needs to be the very first time, you are very likely to use tracing to debug problems with your application or fine-tune your application to make it more functional as well as foolproof. You probably want to take full advantage of tracing, not only in the test environment, but also in the production environment. The purpose of this article is to familiarize you with the capabilities and pitfalls of the individual pieces of tracing in ASP.NET - Create a unified wrapper that stitches together the individual pieces of tracing, to handle both tracing and error logging functionality - Provide a high level recommendation from the perspective of taking full advantage of tracing in Test/Development and Production environment.

Tuning and Optimizing ASP.NET
Performance Tuning and Optimizing ASP.NET Applications provides a detailed review of how to tune and optimize ASP.NET applications for maximum performance. Currently, the market is being flooded with a slew of books on how to write .NET applications, but so far there has not been a title that is devoted to the more advanced topic of tuning and optimizing ASP.NET applications. Intermediate to experienced developers, who are either working on an ASP.NET development project or are about to start one, will find "Performance Tuning and Optimizing ASP.NET Applications" helpful for its concise information on how to design and write ASP.NET applications for optimal performance. The book focuses on performance tuning from a development perspective, rather than an infrastructure perspective. However, the book does address specific development issues that arise in common server architectures, such as Web farms. Tools include Performance Monitor.

Using Active Server Pages
This book will serve as both a tutorial and a reference. Each chapter builds on the previous chapters, thus expanding the reader's knowledge. Additionally, the material is organized in a way that the reader will be able to easily reference when they later have a question. This book provides the reader with up-to-date coverage of what can be done with Active Server Pages. This includes coverage of Active Server Pages as they relate to Transaction Server, the Personalization System, the Personal Web Server, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and much more. Unlike most of the competition, this book will assume more basic knowledge of VBScript and standard web page creation. This will allow the book to go farther and deeper into technical topics surrounding Active Server Pages. Most of the competitive books center on Windows NT and IIS. This book will expand the coverage to include using Active Server Pages on Windows 95 using the Personal Web Server.

Using ASP.NET
This article, by Scott Watermasysk, will demonstrate how to write a custom server control that you can use to manage which users can view specific content on a web page. The control will allow the user to specify which roles should be allowed to view the content, which roles should be denied, and will also include a special hierarchy level property you can set to allow specific users to view content regardless of their roles. While the control itself will be relatively simple, Scott will demonstrate some of the key functions in developing custom server controls (such as inheriting and overriding existing server controls, raising custom events, and developing a custom eventhandler). Once completed, the reader will have a control he or she can easily integrate into any existing site. Role and Hierarchy Based Authentication Using ASP.NET was written by Scott Watermasysk for ASPToday. The ebook (e-book) requires that you have Adobe Acrobat installed.

Using Objects in ASP.NET
In this article, we'll look at some of the more complex features and the architecture of using classes in ASP.NET web applications. We'll explore two large concepts: Implementation inheritance, which allows you to inherit and change code from parent classes, and Aggregation, which describes groups of related classes working together. Another concept we'll touch on is Polymorphism: we'll look at overriding methods through inheritance and we'll also use overloaded methods in any class. We'll also look at interface inheritance, which doesn't allow code reuse but does enforce method and property signatures for classes. We'll also look at the halfway point between interfaces and normal classes: Abstract classes. We'll use these OOP features within a small ASP.NET application using VB.NET, but also have code examples in C#. Objects and Object oriented programming have been around for a long time in mainstream desktop and client/server programming.

Visual Inheritance with ASP.NET
In any application, it is very desirable for the interface to be consistent. In web applications specifically, you want the user to feel that they are on the same website as they move from page to page, having the same navigation, color scheme, and layout on every page. In .NET windows forms, it is possible to use visual inheritance to have the look and composition of one form, inherit from another. Since each form is itself a class, it would make sense that forms can inherit from each other. However, this capability is not innate to ASP.NET Web forms. While inheritance is supported, this is limited to code inheritance. Methods and Properties can be inherited, however one .aspx page cannot inherit the server controls, form elements, images and HTML script from another base .aspx page. In this article, Craig Bowes shows how to add a form of Visual Inheritance to your ASPX site, simplifying redesign and maintenance.
