ASP.NET 1.1 Insider Solutions FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
Writing ASP.NET code is one thing. Writing ASP.NET code thatﾽs robust, maintainable, extensible, reusable...thatﾽs something else altogether. For that, you want ASP.NET 1.1 Insider Solutions. Alex Homer, David Sussman, and their colleagues give you better approaches and best practices for nearly every facet of ASP.NET development, from user interfaces to data handling, hosting to security.
You can probably do a whole lot more with validation controls than you realize: Hereﾽs how. There are several ways to force <form> elements to pass values between pages: Hereﾽs the information you need to choose. Here are techniques for giving users the status indicators they love in their desktop applications. Here, too, is a full section on reusability: creating reusable content, building adaptive controls, using master page templates, page subclassing, and more. Bill Camarda

FROM THE PUBLISHER
This is a series that is reserved for a few select authors. They must have countless hours spent with the technologies and have access to "Inside" information that the general public does not have. In this case the authors relationships with the ASP.NET development team at Microsoft and the time they've spent programming ASP.NET makes them excellent candidates for the Insider Solutions series. The goal of the book is not to teach the technology (what is control based programming, what are web controls etc. etc.) nor is it to be an all encompassing reference (listing all the properties, methods, events for individual controls or providing a reference to all the controls available, etc. etc.). The intent is to draw upon their experience and relate best practices, tips and tricks, workarounds, undocumented information and creative ways to use the technology to intermediate ASP.NET developers. ASP.NET Insider Solutions will provide modular coverage of various concerns when programming ASP.NET applications including coverage of application design, data management, displaying data, customizing and creating new controls, caching, state management, security, etc.
