This is the eBook version of the printed book.
ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed is the most comprehensive book on the Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 Framework, covering all aspects of the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework -- no matter how advanced.
This edition covers all the new features of ASP.NET 3.5. It explains Microsoft LINQ to SQL in detail. It includes a chapter on the two new data access controls introduced with the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework: the ListView and DataPager controls. The author thoroughly covers ASP.NET Ajax. Learn how to take advantage of Microsoft’s server-side Ajax framework to retrofit existing ASP.NET applications with Ajax functionality. He also shows how to take advantage of Microsoft’s client-side Ajax framework to build the web applications of the future: pure client-side Ajax applications. All of the hundreds of code samples are written in C#. (If your preference is Visual Basic, Visual Basic 2008 versions of all of the code samples are included on the accompanying CD.)
