4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference in explaining XML Specific features of ASP.NET, Jan 30 2006

By David Neilsen "Dave" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 XML (Paperback)

This book was written with an emphasis on the new features built into ASP.NET 2.0 and XML. The book assumes experience with previous versions of ASP.NET 2.0 and XML but if you understand the basics of Web programming you shouldn't have any trouble.

It would be better if this book provides examples on VB.NET as well since the book completely focuses only on C#. And also it would be great to have some information on the below:

1. Instructions on solving the most common SQL access errors.

2. How to replace SQLExpress with SQL Server

By Anil - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 XML (Paperback)

I would recommend this book to anyone working on ASP.NET 2.0. XML is the integral part of .NET framework and used widely on all projects.

Book explains XML classes, Data Validation, XML transformation, XML and ADO.NET, Web Services and use of XML in Web.Config and Configuration files.

4.0 out of 5 stars ASP.NET 2.0 XML explained, Feb 28 2006

By Nicholas Cipollina "cipollina" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 XML (Paperback)

This book was very useful. It covered a wide variety of topics and explained most topics very well. I would have liked the book to get into some more subjects a little more in depth, but when you are covering so many topics that is a little difficult to do. This book did cover a lot of the new XML classes in the 2.0 framework. I would have liked some more info on the sql server 2005 xml stuff, particulary xquery. The book talked about OPENXML and even made the statement that you should use .nodes for these types of queries now. But it made no mention of how to do so. Overall, this was a very useful text.
