ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed
Product Description
ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed is the most comprehensive book available on the Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 Framework, covering all aspects of the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework–no matter how advanced.
This edition covers all the new features of ASP.NET 3.5. It explains Microsoft LINQ to SQL in detail. It includes a chapter on the two new data access controls introduced with the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework: ListView and DataPager. With its coverage of ASP.NET AJAX, this book shows you how to take advantage of Microsoft’s server-side AJAX framework to retrofit existing ASP.NET applications with AJAX functionality. It also demonstrates how to use Microsoft’s client-side AJAX framework to build the web applications of the future: pure client-side AJAX applications. All code samples are written in the C# programming language. (Visual Basic versions of all code samples are included on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book.)
- Take advantage of Microsoft’s new database query language, LINQ to SQL, to easily build database-driven web applications
- Learn how to use the new ListView and DataPager data access controls to build flexible user interfaces
- Take advantage of ASP.NET AJAX when building both server-side and client-side web applications
- Use the AJAX Control Toolkit to create auto-complete text fields, draggable panels, masked edit fields, and complex animations
- Design ASP.NET websites
- Secure your ASP.NET applications
- Create custom components
- Build highly interactive websites that can scale to handle thousands of simultaneous users
- Learn to build a complete ASP.NET 3.5 website from start to finish–the last chapter of the book includes a sample ASP.NET 3.5 web application written with LINQ to SQL and ASP.NET AJAX
CD-ROM includes all examples and source code presented in this book in both C# and Visual Basic.
I have nothing bad to say about Stephen Walther nor the books that he writes. However, I’m not happy with this book because it did not have VB examples in it. I have every other book he has made in the ASP.NET Unleashed series and was “VERY” disappointed when this one did not have VB examples in the book.
Hopefully, the next release of ASP.NET Unleashed will.

I am very dissatisfied. I just bought this book expecting to find an emphasis on new .NET “3.5″ features. This is not the case. 65% of this book is on ASP.NET 2.0, 30% on .NET 3.0 and 5% on .NET 3.5.
A good book if you are new to ASP.NET, not if you are interested in learning the new .NET 3.5 stuff. One chapter on AJAX.
Quite a let down.

Rating: 4 / 5
Its a very good book with an intermediate approach.
As a seasoned professional much of the first part about controls i skipped, but found here and there that bit of very useful information.
A very good book.
