You should be familiar with VB or C-based syntax (C++, JavaTM, or C#).
* This book surveys the different technologies and servers that are available for you to use with ASP.NET and maps the "Quality Attributes" of Application Architecture for these different servers. * The author has been using ASP.NET since the technology preview of the .NET 1.0 Framework. He has put scores of ASP.NET applications into production for large enterprise companies and universities. * This book is written with today's technology, with an eye on the future.
* Provides compact coverage of new ADO.NET features and use of cutting edge tools, such as Visual Studio .NET 2005. * Content and examples take practical focus as opposed to a theoretical, academic treatment. * Heavily trimmed content eliminates information the reader won’t find useful very often.
Based on newest version of Visual Studio .NET (2005) and .NET Framework version 2.0 All topic areas include specific code examples Bridges the gap between classic C++ and Visual C++ .NET Update of a highly successful first edition
Now you can uncover the secrets behind accessing and retrieving data from a wide range of data sources such as SQL Server and XML sources. This book walks you through the array of ADO.NET 2.0 features and clearly shows you how they can be used to develop database-driven web applications in ASP.NET. You’ll first gain an in-depth understanding of the data source controls that enable data binding in the ASP.NET platform. Next you’ll uncover the advanced features of ASP.NET, including site navigation, implementing sorting and paging, and editing data in templates. You’ll then focus on designing transactions in ADO.NET 2.0, displaying data, and utilizing SQL Server 2005 XML. Throughout the chapters, you’ll find examples and source code (with ASP.NET examples written in C#) that you can integrate into your applications. This will enable you to leverage ADO.NET and ASP.NET features so you can easily create a scalable N-Tier web site. Some of the topics covered include: ASP.NET 2.0 Data Controls Data Binding with the SqlDataSource Control, XML Data, and Objects Selecting, Updating, Deleting Records Programmatically Creating and Adding Controls XSL Transformations with XmlDataSource Control Using Generics with the ObjectDataSource Control ASP.NET 2.0 Site Navigation including Implementing Breadcrumbs and Binding to Other Controls Displaying and Editing Data Using Templates GridView Sorting and Paging Advanced Data Source and Data-Bound Controls including Master/Detail Display, Displaying Images from a Database, and Using Themes with Data Bound Controls Transactions in .NET and Interoperability between System.Transactions and System.EnterpriseServices Advanced ADO.NET for ASP.NET Data Display including DataSet Object, ADO.NET 2.0 DataTable, and Provider-Independent Data Access Code Accessing Data from SQL Server 2005 including CLR in SQL Server 2005, New XML Features in SQL Server 2005, and Working with XML Data-Typed Columns from ADO.NET N-Tier Architecture with ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 Best Practices for Creating ASP.NET Web Sites including Implementation of CLR Stored Procedures and Implementation of Layers
