What's new and how to use it! That's
what this book delivers if you're a Visual Basic developer
who wants to upgrade from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0.
In contrast to other books that present the what's
new but ignore the how to, this book uses
complete business applications to show you exactly how
to take advantage of all the work-saving 2.0 features.
That means you'll get hands-on training in using:
- the 2005 code-behind model that untangles aspx pages
from their code-behind files
- master pages, themes, and skins to standardize the
look and feel of a site
- data access features like the Access, SQL, and XML
data sources and bound controls like GridView,
DetailsView, and FormView
- object data sources that let you bind to custom
business objects so you can create true 3-layer applications
without sacrificing the convenience of data binding
- site navigation features that make it easier for
users to maneuver through your site
- login controls to authenticate users
- profiles to keep track of individual user data between
user sessions
- web parts, the building blocks of portals that can
be customized by the user
- the MultiView and Wizard controls that let you create
multiple views of a single page
- and more (for all the details, please see the table
of contents)
Beyond that, this book shows you how...and when...to
convert 1.x applications to 2.0, and warns you about
the problems you're most likely to encounter when converting.
In addition, you'll learn how to deploy your 2.0 applications
to the production server. And you'll learn how to use
the 2005 configuration tools to tame the ever-sprawling
web.config file.
Note: This book is based on Microsoft's "Go
Live" Beta 2 release of ASP.NET 2.0. In the final release
of the product, there are some minor changes that you
should know about. So we've documented those
changes, and we've updated the sample
applications so that you won't have any trouble
running them under the final release. |
