ASP .NET Web Developer’s Guide
Since 1996, ASP programmers have faced one upgrade after another, often with
no visible advantages until version 3.x. Now you have the first significant
improvement in ASP programming within your grasp—ASP .NET. Your reliance on
a watered-down version of Visual Basic has been alleviated now that ASP .NET
pages may be programmed in both Microsoft’s new version of Visual Basic or the
latest version of C++: C#. ASP .NET allows programmers and developers to work
with both VB.NET and C# within the same ASP .NET page. This book will show
you how.
