ASP.NET allows web sites to display unique pages for each visitor
rather than show the same static HTML pages. The release of ASP.NET
2.0 is a revolutionary leap forward in the area of web application
development. It brings with it a wealth of new and exciting
built-in functions that reduce the amount of code you''ll need to
write for even the most common applications.
With more than 50 new server controls, the number of classes
inside ASP.NET 2.0 has more than doubled, and in many cases, the
changes in this new version are dramatic. This book will alert you
to every new feature and capability that ASP.NET 2.0 provides so
that you''ll be prepared to put these new technologies into action.
Greatly expanded from the original best-selling Professional
ASP.NET 2.0, this new special edition adds hundreds of pages of new
coverage of advanced and new techniques relating to data and data
sources, the provider model, personalization, membership, role
management, localization, configuration, migration, and
Altas.
