Product Description
This core reference provides a one-stop, definitive resource for building robust, Web-enabled
software applications for the revolutionary
Microsoft .NET development platform. Windows programming authority Jeff Prosise masterfully explains this new programming paradigm as he introduces readers to the .NET Framework and to the new programming models that it embodies: Windows Forms, Web Forms, and Web services. The book includes more than 75 complete sample programs written in C#. The samples are designed to help readers resolve .NET development questions and to complement the book's carefully explained introduction to .NET programming. All the sample programs, as well as an electronic version of the book, are included on the companion CD-ROM.
Reader ReviewsThe primary focus of the book (500+ pages) is on using .NET with ASP. Since I bought the book figuring that the book would be more focused on the FCL (Framework Class Library), the majority of the book is not useful to me. The 180 pages dedicated to using the FCL and CRL (Common Runtime Library) with C# were very good, but could have used some additional material. Specifically, sample programs using more than just the edit, list, and button controls would have been good. In addition, detailed samples using streams would have also been good. The final 100+ pages is a whirlwind tour of other aspects of .NET including ADO.NET (databases), threading, and remoting. The chapters do not have as much depth as the other chapters and give you just enough information to be dangerous. Again, additional depth would have been good. If you want to use .NET from ASP with a little C#, this is THE book for you. If you want to use .NET from C#, this probably isn't the book for you.
