Building Web Solutions with ASP.NET and ADO.NET

Most Web applications follow a simple "3F" pattern: fetch, format, and forward to the browser. With this in-depth guide, you'll take your ASP.NET and ADO.NET skills to the next level and learn key techniques to develop more complex Web applications. Discover how to build applications for ad-hoc and effective Web reporting, applications that work disconnected from the data source and use XML to communicate with non-.NET systems, and general-purpose applications that take advantage of the data abstraction of ADO.NET. Along the way, you'll learn how to take advantage of code reusability, user controls, code-behind, custom Web controls, and other time-saving techniques employed by ASP.NET experts. Topics covered include: Data-bound .NET controls Templated and editable data grids Code reusability in .NET Advanced reporting Disconnected applications Interoperable applications XML Web services .NET Managed Providers CD-ROM FEATURES: A fully searchable electronic copy of the book Sample code written in Microsoft Visual C# .NET and Visual Basic .NET For customers who purchase an ebook version of this title, instructions for downloading the CD files can be found in the ebook.
