5.0 out of 5 stars What technical writing should be, February 23, 2003
I almost never comment on the work of other authors, but this book is so good, so well written, so well organized and so useful that I simply have to praise it.

This is truly what technical writing should be: clear, concise, well-organized, well presented, with useful exercises.

If you need to learn how to write ASP.NET custom controls, in detail and in depth, this is clearly the book to buy.

I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most practical development book I've read in years, December 1, 2002
By Graham F (Canada) - See all my reviews
This book is an absolute must for anyone that wants answers to questions regarding server control development for ASP.Net. I don't know of any where else that fully describes the details and requirements of coding solid controls.

The book is fairly complicated but only because control development happens to be complicated. If you are expecting a book that will simplify custom control development this isn't it. If you find a book that simplifies control development and it serves your purposes that is great but you will certainly be missing out on a great deal of the power available. If you are serious about non-trivial control development and are looking for a book that explains custom controls then this book is very nearly perfect.

I have this book open on my desk everyday as it answers questions I have been unable to find answers to anywhere else.

If you are developing controls and you don't enjoy being frustrated or hacking endlessly away trying to get your controls to work properly, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo Nikhil and Vandana!, September 25, 2002
By Alex Lowe - Microsoft MVP ASP.NET (Grand Rapids, MI United States) - See all my reviews
Nikhil and Vandana do an amazing job of distilling a fairly complex subject - building ASP.NET Server Controls. They start out by discussing the internals of ASP.NET and server control architecture, move into the nuts and bolts of server controls (rendering, event model, client-side script, processing postbacks, custom state management, etc). There are tons of examples throughout the book. In addition to the tons of examples, there are two full case studies (a data bound templated control and a DHTML based control) at the end of the book. The sample are almost all in C# but I would still advise VB.NETers to buy this book because the principles and insight cannot be found anywhere else. ...

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing chapter
I payed good money for this book. But for some, to me, unknown reason, Microsoft left out chapter 19. In one page the book jumps from page 484 to page 549. How could this happen?
