Supporting Materials:
Chapter Status
Introduction
No supporting materials.
Chapter 1: .NET Overview Ready
An overview of Microsoft's .NET Framework and where ASP.NET fits in. No supporting materials.
Chapter 2: An Introduction To ASP.NET Ready
Chapter 2 introduces ASP.NET and includes a brief history of the Active Server Pages architecture from which ASP.NET evolved. Many of ASP.NET's features are noted and compared with Classic ASP, and most of these features are covered in detail later in the book. No supporting materials.
Chapter 3: Migrating From ASP to ASP.NET Ready
This chapter provides some simple guidelines for migrating from ASP to ASP.NET, including examples of several common ASP processes and their ASP.NET equivalents.
Chapter 4: The New ADO - ADO.NET Ready
ADO.NET replaces Classic ASP's primary data access technology: ADO. In this chapter you learn how to take advantage of this new and powerful object model.
Chapter 5: Using ASP.NET Web/HTML Controls Ready
In this chapter, the built in HTML and Web Controls are introduced and explained, with several examples.
Chapter 6: Using ASP.NET List Controls Ready
How to use ASP.NET List Controls, such as the DataList and DataGrid.
Chapter 7: Using ASP.NET Rich Controls Ready
How to use the ASP.NET Rich Controls, such as the Calendar and AdRotator.
Chapter 8: Using ASP.NET Validation Controls Ready
One of the most useful collections of built-in controls in ASP.NET is the set of Validation Controls. These controls allow ASP developers to forget most of their tedious JavaScript validation writing code, allowing them to spend their time on more important tasks. One of the most powerful validators, the RegularExpressionValidator, is covered in detail with several sample regular expressions provided.

Chapter 9: Using ASP.NET User Controls Ready
Chapter 9 introduces User Controls, which provide developers with a powerful tool for reuse that dwarfs the ASP #include directive in flexibility and usefulness.
Chapter 10: ASP.NET Applications Ready
Chapter 10 covers ASP.NET Applications, including how to configure them and handle application-level events. The web.config and global.asax files are introduced and explained in this chapter.
Chapter 11: ASP.NET and Web Services Ready
Chapter 11 covers how to build, expose, and consume Web Services, which can be used to allow different applications to communicate with one another over the Internet in a standard fashion.
Chapter 12: Custom ASP.NET Controls Ready
Chapter 12 covers the creation of your own custom controls and components using the .NET Framework.
Chapter 13: Debugging ASP.NET Overview Ready
ASP.NET's debugging support is greatly improved over Classic ASP's near-total lack of features. Exception handling is consistent and powerful in ASP.NET, and the new Tracing features of ASP.NET eliminate the need for Response.Write debugging techniques. A brief look at event logging and performance counters rounds out this chapter.
Chapter 14: Case Study in ECommerce with ASP.NET: IBuySpy.com Source Only
Many readers will already be familiar with the IBuySpy.com store, a sample application built by Microsoft and Vertigo to be used as a learning tool for new ASP.NET developers. In this case study, the IBuySpy Store application is analyzed, including a discussion of the decisions that went into the design of the application. The designers of .NET and the IBuySpy store were interviewed for this chapter.

The IBuySpy samples are available only as source code -- the working site cannot be duplicated and can be found at http://www.IBuySpy.com.
