Professional ASP.NET Server Controls: Building Custom Controls with C#
Professional ASP.NET Server Controls: Building Custom Controls with C#by MAtt Butler, Thiru Thangarathinam, Matt Milner, Michael Clark, Ryan O'Keefe, Angelo Kastroulis, Jan Narkiewicz, Daniel CazzulinoPaperback: 450 pages Publisher: Wrox Press Inc ISBN: 1861005644; 1st edition (February 2002) Server Controls are a core part of the ASP.NET architecture. They are components that produce a user interface element that can be reused with ease. The standard controls that come with ASP.NET include the textbox, the button, the data and list controls, and some rich controls (for example, the calendar control). This book is designed to show you how to create your own controls, either from scratch, or based on existing controls. This book is designed to be a complete reference on how to create Custom Server Controls using C#. In essence, it's a definitive guide to what they're used for, how they are created, and the benefits that they can provide. The first part of the book will be concentrating on the code itself, and is designed to be editor-neutral, concentrating on the raw code involved in creating controls and making use of these controls. The second part of the book will have more coverage of visual designers like Visual Studio .NET, talking about why using IDEs is so helpful, and examining the powerful features of Visual Studio .NET that are useful when creating custom controls. This book is a comprehensive guide to all of the processes involved in creating fully-functional server controls, including handling events, managing state, templating, creating data binding controls, and distributing controls. The book will finish with a case study that will bring together all of the concepts discussed in the earlier chapters. From the Publisher: It is assumed that the readers will be familiar with the built-in controls available in ASP.NET. The book is aimed at experienced developers who are ready to extend the functionality of ASP.NET beyond its basic foundations, and create their own customized reusable controls. The natural starting point for this book is anyone who has read Professional ASP. NET or a similar level of book, or anyone who has a good understanding of how ASP.NET works and wants to look into creating their own controls. This book is not suitable for the newcomer to ASP.NET. About the Author: Matt Butler is an independent contractor who specializes in Windows DNA, .NET, and Java. .MAtt went from being a homeless, starving jazz musician to a programmer holding numerous certifications, including MCSD, Sun Java Certified Programmer, BEA Certified Programmer (Java/Weblogic), and a few other miscellaneous certifications. Rode the wave of the .COM craze working on sizable profile-based search engines and transactional e-commerce applications using the Windows DNA architecture in return for 'stock options' and pizza. Daniel Cazzulino is a senior developer who discovered C# and the .NET Framework early its beta process. He has had many years experience developing distributed solutions based on Windows DNA, COM/COM+, and VB, but has now left this behind him to dedicate himself full time to the new platform. He's been tempted to work with Delphi and Java, but finally found his home in MS's new developer tools, and has done work related to XML, XSLT/XPath/XQuery, WebServices, .NET Security, ASP.NET, and others.... Customer Reviews If you're going to build controls, get this book, May 14, 2002 Reviewer: Dan T from Bristol, CT United States There are a lot of technical books these days that seem like a real waste of time and money, arent' there? This one isn't like that. The authors don't waste your time with an introduction to ASPX or C#, don't bore you with the basics of programming, or anything like that. Instead they give you a focused, on-topic description of the topic. The examples are good, the prose clear and concise, and the chapters broken down well. Another plus is that they tend to stay editor-agnostic. Aside from a few comments (and one full chapter) on Visual Studio.net, everything else can be followed using Notepad. The Visual Studio chapter is pretty good, too. I can't say it enough -- if you've got to build controls, you've got to get this book. Get it now. (No, I'm not one of the authors!) Irreplaceable Resource, April 23, 2002 Reviewer: tjoker from Chicago, IL United States This book is awesome. Especially because there's so little out there about building Serve Controls. This is not just a MSDN paraphrase, this book is actually content-rich and full of essential information. Until something even better shows up, this book is a must-have. Excellent resource, April 8, 2002 Reviewer: nwcs from Knoxville, TN United States As a programmer, I think most programming books are fluff with nothing new that you couldn't get from MSDN already. But this book is different. It's mostly about code, techniques, and reference. If you are looking to be serious about .NET, this book is worth reading. |
