Where's the beef !?!?, April 16, 2002
Reviewer: GMJenkins from Richmond, Viriginia, USA
This book is terribly written, and in a lot of cases, misinformative. The author does not offer any insight to the various uses of properties and methods of the object structure, but simply states fundamental effects. Examples are the explanation of the HTMLButton.CausesValidation property... there is no explanation as to what is going to be validated when this is set TRUE.

Other serious oversights are misreferences. In one class he discusses the OnServerClick method, in other classes he refers to it as ServerClick.

Although the book is intended to be a programmer's quick reference, there is very little use of knowing the names of classes, properties, or methods if you are not given any explanation as to the effect such items will have in your programming.

Here's a Tip: save your money and try an ASP.NET for Dummies instead. ...
