Book description

Windows Web Forms pages can streamline development for a variety of applications—but many Microsoft Windows®–related programming books skip over the details that allow developers to take full advantage of Web Forms. In addition, Version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework introduces new capabilities that even those familiar with early versions of Web Forms will want to learn to use. Written by well-known columnist and author Douglas Reilly, this book offers a concise, focused tutorial suitable for new and experienced Web Forms developers who want to expedite their productivity with Microsoft Visual Studio® 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0. The book features insightful code samples in Microsoft Visual C#® 2005.
