question about reference

[Stephanie]

I have been working through this book

http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-ASP...bs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228868592&sr=8-5

It is a good getting started book. Once I am finished with this, and the
project I am working on, I would like to begin moving on toward a more code
and less built in object widgets. I like the UI controls, like the data
gridview and such. If possible, I would like to be able to use them with
objects that I create in C# classes. My next project has data structures
which will be nonsensical to the user without transforming into the users'
meaningful data. If I cannot use the user interface server control, I will
code it manually.

So as I proceed, can someone recommend the next step book that would expose
me to greater technical detail as well as get started on things like LINQ
and AJAX in a little bit of detail? Your favorite books on design patters
woudl also be welcome, though that is not strictly an ASP.NET topci, each
development env. has its own best methods. It is so hard to guess what books
will be good and what will be drivel.

Thanks for your help.

I am always amazed at you MVP people. You have jobs of your own, yet you
make time to help us clueless people attempt to find said clue. Over the
years of VB 4 and on and ASP I wonder if you people have helped me a BUNCH.

Thanks Mark. And thanks all you other helpful folks too.
