2.0 book recommendation

John A Grandy

Recommendations on the best advanced 2.0 book for ASP.NET / WinForms , C#
........ that IS NOT based on the author having only worked with a beta or
ctp copy of the product.

(Or least the chance is small that the book contains errors or missing
incorrectly explained features.)

I've heard the APress titles are decent but wordy and not superb.

Thanks.

I have this book:
159059522X
(ISBN)

and would buy it again.
This is not a "how to I draw a gridview on a webform" book. This is
leveraging some technologies for an enterprise solution.

What do you mean by advanced - its a broad sweeping requirement, and your
not likely to get an advanced book covering webforms and winforms.

The new O'Reilly ASP2 Cookbook (ASP.NET 2.0 Cookbook, Second Edition Michael
A. Kittel and Geoffrey T. LeBlond ISBN: 0-596-100642-7, 989 pages) is a
corker if your looking for real-world workable examples. It has real world
scenarios defining problems, showing discussion and solving the problem in
an easy and concise way. Its an excellent book.

Theres a cracking new book coming out from Addison Wesley called Essential
C# by Mark Michaelis whihc is very advanced. You'll need to wait a few
weeks for it though as its just going to press. Definately one for the
bookshelf.

Book recommendation on performance

by: php newbie | last post by:

I have the Transact-SQL Programming book from O'Reilly. It was published in 1999. It states that "SELECT ... INTO" statements end up locking the entire database of the target table. Since the tempdb is also involved (in many cases), this creates major deadlocks for the entire database and all users. It suggests using the "INSERT ... SELECT" form instead. Considering that the book is somehow dated, is this recommendation still valid,...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
