What's new and how to use it! That's the quickest description for what this book presents as it shows Visual Basic developers how to upgrade from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP 2.0.NET 2.0. Unlike competing books, which present the what's new but not the how to, this book uses complete applications to show the reader exactly how to use all of the valuable new 2.0 features, including data access, master pages, site navigation, login controls, profiles, themes, web parts, and more. This book also presents the best techniques for converting 1.x applications to 2.0 and for deploying 2.0 applications.
