With this book you'll learn the fundamentals of the web environment and how Visual Studio .NET makes it accessible to VB programmers. You'll build a working website that demonstrates all the elements of a VB web application. We'll take a step-by-step approach to each example as we explore the essential technologies and how VS.NET helps us to integrate them into a highly interactive, attractive web application.

This collection of reusable ASP.NET components serves two purposes. First, the components are ready to use, so you may add exciting features to your own ASP.NET websites. Second, each component's design and implementation is discussed, and you’ll discover tips and tricks applicable for developing your own controls. Controls can be “cut and pasted” or used as templates for you to build your own controls. And the fifteen included controls (programs) cover a broad range of situations, providing you both working coded solutions to your problem and the rationalization behind those solutions. Overall, this highly anticipated book provides immediate solutions to range of common problems.
