Repost: Good ASP.NET book using C# and code behind?

[José Joye]

I have been programming with C# for more than a year. Mostly on Server
applications (including ADO.NET and .NET Remoting) and a bit on Client side
using Winforms.

I now plan to get involved in ASP.NET development.
Looking at Amazon, I have seen a lot of books that relate to this topic...
The
book I'm looking should ideally :
- Assume the reader has already worked with C# sharp and .NET framework
- Has most of samples in C#
- Make a great use of code behind (and assume the reader has a version of VS
instead of NotePad ;-) )
- Be well written (C# and the .NET platform by Andrew Troelsen is such a
book)


Any recommendation welcome!

José

Jose,

It's not very long (~400 pages), but Douglas Reilly's "Programming
Microsoft(R) ASP .NET Applications" from MS Press got me off to a good
start. It contains many very practical examples, including the use of data
access through ADO .NET by ASP .NET forms and web services, and 95% of the
code behind examples ar in C#, which is the main reason I chose it in the
first place. The authorship is good, and he assumes, for the most part,
that you are using VS .NET, of which the book contains many screen-shot
examples.

Hope this helps,

Mitchell

Have a look at Dino Esposito's Programming ASP.NET (MS Press).
