The most important new features of SQL Server 2000 concern XML and the added functionality that it provides. This includes the ability to use XML documents to update your database, access SQL Server through HTTP and retrieve data from your database in XML format.
Visual Basic .NET is the next version of Visual Basic and a major part of Microsoft's .NET initiative. Responding to pressure from the VB community, VB.NET is a significant upgrade that is far more flexible and powerful than previous versions. Microsoft has introduced a number of new features, not least a move to full object-oriented programming and greatly enhanced web design facilities.
Microsoft's vision for the future, .NET, is a step forward in the evolution of programming that integrates proven and established technologies with the latest innovations. This guide helps readers understand in depth the constituent parts of Microsoft's .NET framework--the Common Language Runtime, the engine which drives the core functionality of .NET; the .NET Framework base classes; and the ASP.NET and Windows application services which utilize those classes across multiple languages.
ADO.NET is Microsoft's latest data access technology, and, as an integral component of the .NET framework, is far more than simply an upgrade of an existing technology. ADO.NET is a large set of .NET classes that enable us to interact with data sources, manipulate data, and communicate with other applications and Web Services in entirely new ways. This book provides a wealth of information about the ADO.NET. We describe the features and how to use them, as well as providing advice and explanation that will enable you to use ADO.NET effectively. The code examples are concise, and demonstrate how to use a specific techniques rather than how to build entire applications.
Server Controls are a core part of the ASP.NET architecture. They are components that produce a user interface element that can be reused with ease. The standard controls that come with ASP.NET include the textbox, the button, the data and list controls, and some rich controls (for example, the calendar control). This book is designed to show you how to create your own controls, either from scratch, or based on existing controls. It is designed to be a complete reference on how to create Custom Server Controls. In essence, it's a definitive guide to what they're used for, how they are created, and the benefits that they can provide. The first part of the book concentrates on the code itself, and is designed to be editor-neutral, concentrating on the raw code involved in creating controls and making use of these controls. The second part of the book has more coverage of visual designers like Visual Studio .NET, talking about why using IDEs is so helpful, and examining the powerful features of Visual Studio .NET that are useful when creating custom controls.
This title looks at how we can create data-centric asp.NET applications. It contains code examples, which demonstrate important fundamental principles. Requiring some basic knowledge of ASP.NET and Access or a SQL-based RDBMS, the authors initially guide you through the processes involved in connecting ASP.NET pages to a database and investigate the various ways of reading data. They then explore all the major issues involved in data heavy asp.NET programming, including some slightly more advanced topics such as using stored procedures and components.
This guide details Active Server Pages, a server side scripting technology considered by many to be the tool for dynamic, easily maintainable web content. ASP enables users to tailor web pages to the specific requirements of their browser type.
Even for experienced developers, the Microsoft .NET Framework is a big leap forward for application development. With the enormous quantity of technical information, web sites, and bocks available, .NET can be bewildering. This book distils the essence of .NET, readying you for future development projects with the .NET Framework. What you will learn from this book This book will show you: * What .NET is: the Framework, the infrastructure, and the products Why Microsoft has revamped its development and runtime model, and how this will affect you * How the .NET Framework provides multi-language support, a common type system, memory management, garbage collection, and new deployment models * Th...
