The author's ADO chapter was excellent. I found the entire book to be a great source with well thought out examples. I have 6 other ASP.net books, and I highly reccomend this one.

I generally don't take the time to write reviews, but this book is original enough that I want the author to make some money on it. A great book
This is the best ASP.Net Training I have Found!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this book. The steps are clean and easy to understand. The code is non-cluttered and easy to read. He takes you step by step and does not through any curves. Other books and video training I have reviewed jump in to quickly and try to show-off to much (that leads to confusion). This book does not do that at all. The code is clean and precise and the breakdown is superb. I am hoping the other "Professional Project" titles (C# and ADO.Net) are as well written and designed. I would recommend this book to everyone!!!
Great Book

I think this is the best book available on ASP.NET on the market.Unlike some of the other books that I have read this book is not a rehash of the .NET documentation. This book brings a lot of clarity to some of the stuff I had been struggling with. The writing style is very clear and crisp. Advanced topics are covered with excellent examples. Again unlike other books, the projects and samples presented are not "toy" samples but real code that you can use. I simply love the GenEditAdd custom control described in this book and I am already using this in my projects. Basically this custom control hooks onto the DataGrid and allows you to edit and insert rows into the grid. It automatically builds an input form by reading the SQL behind the DataGrid. It allows you to have drop-down columns (which is not possible with the DataGrid) and quite a few other features. The book is strong on web services and completely describes a Quicken like accounting application and an inventory application using web services. Visual studio is described in detail and again I like the authors approach of first describing and then looking at each detail under the magnifying glass.

I appreciate the Author's approach towards explaining the .NET using the Projects and step-by-step approach. He has made .NET a lot easy to understand. On the whole, a very good book.
