1.0 out of 5 stars Where's the beef !?!?, April 16, 2002

This review is from: ASP.Net Programmer's Reference (Paperback)

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. ...

This book is a waste of paper and my money! You can get more info from the online help in Visual Studio or Web Matrix for free.

This review is from: ASP.Net Programmer's Reference (Paperback)

Someone recomened this book to me raving of its content and ease of use. That guy WAS WRONG!!! This book lacks many of the methods that you are looking for. It is pooly written and the online help for Visual Studio is better than this book (And its free)

Save your money and just use the online help. This book isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
