Book Description
This book is designed to be a complete reference on how to create Custom Server Controls using C#. 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 will be concentrating 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 will have 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 book is a comprehensive guide to all of the processes involved in creating fully-functional server controls, including handling events, managing state, templating, creating data binding controls, and distributing controls.
The book will finish with a case study that will bring together all of the concepts discussed in the earlier chapters.
Publisher comments
The natural starting point for this book is anyone who has read Professional ASP. NET or a similar level of book, or anyone who has a good understanding of how ASP.NET works and wants to look into creating their own controls. This book is not suitable for the newcomer to ASP.NET.
