Chapter 25. Building Web Applications
Developing web applications in Visual Studio 2008 has many similarities to developing traditional desktop applications. You drag and drop controls onto a form and build your business logic by using your language of choice — in our case, Visual Basic 2008.
However, as you will see, there are also many differences. There are underlying technologies that you, the developer, should have a solid understanding of, additional control sets to work with, and some fundamental differences in the way that the standard controls behave.
In this chapter, you will learn how to do the following:
Create a basic XHTML/HTML page
Format a page with CSS
Set up a master page for your website
Use some of the ASP.NET intrinsic objects
