Hi all,
can anyone recommend a good book for VS 2005/ASP .NET 2.0 C#?

Or any other really good resources?

thanks a lot

regards

Joel

Hi there,

You can take a look at Professional ASP.NET 2.0:
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...764576100.html

Depending on your staring level, you can also look at Beginning ASP.NET 2.0, but I am not sure that book uses C#.

http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...764588508.html

In addition to those books, you could also take a look at "ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results".

http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...471749516.html

Instead of C# the book uses VB.NET exclusively, so you may not like that. However, if you're willing to look through the language issues, you'll find a powerful and practical guide to building real-world applications. Instead of taking a snippet-based approach, this books presents 12 complete and functional applications (comes with source as well). Each chapter then digs into the design, architecture and code of the application.

Being one of the authors, I am a bit biased of course, but you still may want to check it out...

Cheers,

Imar

There is a different version of the "Beginning" book Imar mentioned that will publish at the end of April with C# code:
Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 with C#:
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...470042583.html

It's essentially the same book as the Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 but with C# instead of VB. :)
