What is this book about? With help from Microsoft ASP.NET insider Bradley Millington, John Kaufman covers both VB.NET and C# coding for ASP.NET databases so you don't have to decide up front which language you want more and retailers no longer have to manage inventory on separate language versions. What does this book cover? This edition is completely written from scratch on the ASP.NET "Whidbey" Beta to ensure the coverage is most appropriate for this greatly changed version. The book focuses on solving business problems in a logical progression, from connecting to displaying to changing the data. Additional chapters cover enhancements to the presentation and alternate types of data. The book follows the practice of going beyond the basic techniques to discuss the permutations, pitfalls, and best practices that occur in real business scenarios.
